Bug #5125: mod_php stops without warning because of incorrect code

From: webmaster@peda.net Operating system: Linux 2.2.14-5 (RH6.2) PHP version: 3.0.16 PHP Bug Type: Parser error Bug description: mod_php stops without warning because of incorrect code Including or inserting following non-php code as php3 code causes parser to stop before running any code and mod_php returns document without data (= browser sees length 0 bytes). It should be noted that following code isn't supposed to work but parser doesn't give any reason for failure - nothing goes into logs or browser. Interesting enough php doesn't even enter forever loop - child quits normally. Tested with mod_php distributed with Mandrake 7.1 and mod_php build with "./configure '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'". <?php # Note that we DO NOT run following function - parser just stops?? function phpDie() { # comment following to make script working. @($a,$b) = print("PHP3 - Yet another parser bug"); return 1; } print("It works now?!?"); ?>
