Bug #13857 Updated: Attempting to load shared modules causes header problems.

ID: 13857 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: kyrian@ore.org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Dynamic loading Operating System: RedHat 6.1 (ish) PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: No feedback and so far nobody else has been able to reproduce this.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-06 21:12:24] sniper@php.net No feedback and so far nobody else has been able to reproduce this.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-14 07:25:02] kyrian@ore.org Unfortunately I've lost access (due to quitting the company) to the machines on which I originally was able to produce this problem. AFAIK it wasn't restricted to just those machines, though and happened on any RedHat 6.x machine, so I'll try and find one that I've not upgraded at home, and test it on that, as well as on a RH7.2 machine, and see what happens. This may take some time, though... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-14 02:36:21] lobbin@php.net Do the happen on 4.1.1? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-28 10:55:46] kyrian@ore.org At Jani's request, recreating this bug report with a password so I can edit it directly... This condition has been present in PHP's 4.0.4pl1 through to snapshot version php4-200110030000 Basically what happens is that whenever we use an "extension=module.so" line in our php.ini, we see the headers generated by the "expose_php = yes" configuration condition, and the "Content-type:", and any session-related headers in the body content of a web page generated by PHP. The only way to make this go away is of course to not use loadable modules, which is not exactly optimal for us. It happens with a range of modules, basically every one that we have tried. It also happens with "extension=non-existent-module.so". However as Jani rightly said, there would be complaints all over the place about this one if it happened to everyone, so it must be dependant on some other factor, ie. the OS. There's some background information following this... Oh, our config has been varied considerably through the various releases, due to customer demand for new features to be compiled in, but the latest version we've been using is: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-gd --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-config-file-path=/etc/php4/cgi/ --with-imap --enable-ftp --with-openssl --with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos --with-jpeg=/usr --with-pdflib --with-domxl --with-wbmp --with-zlib=/usr --with-bz2 No doubt you'll email me if you need more info ;-) K. PS. For reference, because it's probably useful, this used to be "Bug #13176 Updated: Headers output in HTML body.", but I didn't put in a password, so I had to email updates, hence the new bug report. >It doesn't seem to be related to "extension=module.so" where the module >is already compiled in explicitly, or where it isn't.
