Bug #3518: mysql_connect crashes

From: yannis@pathfinder.gr Operating system: Linux 2.2.14 PHP version: 3.0.14 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: mysql_connect crashes Hello, I have a php script in which mysql_connect seems to crash. By saying 'crash' I mean that the execution of the script is stopped while executing mysql_connect, leaving no chance to catch any exception (using 'or die()..' for example). mysql_connect does not return at all. the same mysql_connect statement has been used many many times in many many scripts, only in this specific one I experience the problem. The other strange thing in this case is that if I press the "reload" button of the browser, there is a (small) possibility that the bug will not occure (!?) I can say that in most times I load the page, I get mysql_connect crashed, but I believe that which of the two will happen is random. I was using php4.0b3. I tried php3.0.14 (I compiled php and apache) but nothing changed. I have check the 'bad' script again and again and again but I can't find something that makes it different from all the others (which work fine!). I have not logical explanation.. if someone has, please let me know... --Yannis Tsakiris yannis@pathfinder.gr
