PHP 4.0 Bug #6267 Updated: parse_str fails to parse strings

ID: 6267 User Update by: ianm@judcom.nsw.gov.au Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Misbehaving function Description: parse_str fails to parse strings UPDATE After reading comments by several people that they couldn't reproduce the problem, I wondered if it was a local configuration problem. I backed up my current php.ini and copied php.ini-optimized as the new php.ini, and I still got the parse_str failure. I then replaced that php.ini with php.ini-dist ... and parse_str worked fine! NB: I have been using a modified version of php.ini-optimized as my php.ini. CONCLUSION (thus far) The php.ini-optimized that comes with PHP 4.0.x definitely causes parse_str to fail on my PCs, but the php.ini-dist works fine. I had used php.ini-optimized because it says it is optimized for 4.0.x and it is "recommended". Does this help? Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6267
