PHP 4.0 Bug #6624: error_log() in registered shutdown function

From: s.busch@billiton.de Operating system: SunOS 5.7 (sparc) PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: error_log() in registered shutdown function (minor flaw, don't know if it's important, but maybe worth a check) I registered a shutdown function via register_shutdown_function(). For debugging purposes and because echo() isn't functional in the shutdown function, I used error_log('my log message',0), so that the "error"-messages showed up in apache/logs/error_log. The error_log()-call in "normal code" produced an entry in apache error_log with timestamp and error type, and the error_log()-call in my shutdown callback function appeared without timestamp and error type (see snippet below) ---- example PHP-code function myshutdown () { error_log('myshutdown() executed',0); } register_shutdown_function('myshutdown'); error_log('myshutdown-function registered',0); ---- Apache logs/error_log snippet [Fri Sep 8 11:43:43 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/4.0.2 configured -- resuming normal operations [Fri Sep 8 11:43:52 2000] [error] myshutdown-function registered myshutdown() executed
