PHP 4.0 Bug #6616 Updated: ext/java: reassigning values for variables causes segfault

ID: 6616 User Update by: bridge@gsnet.com Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Description: ext/java: reassigning values for variables causes segfault A workaround is to avoid using arrays altogether. Array data can be transferred from java to php as a String using implode/explode. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-09-08 12:00:44] bridge@gsnet.com Hmmm.... Although it doesn't crash as much when I don't reassign values to variables which hold results from java calls, it still dumps core occasionally.... :( --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-09-07 17:53:04] bridge@gsnet.com If I call a java object twice from PHP-4.0.2 and assign the result to the same variable, it generates a segmentation fault (under both ibm-jdk118 and Blackdown JDK1.2.2-RC4). If I change the second occurrence of "aStrings" to, say, "aStrings2" it works fine. Note that to reproduce this problem, you may need to reload it more than once. It crashes about as many times as it works on my configuration. Heres' the PHP code: <? $jTest = new Java("PHPTest"); print("Here is an Array of Strings:<br>n"); $aStrings = $jTest->getAnArrayOfStrings(); for($j=0; $j<sizeof($aStrings); $j++) { print("<i>".$j."=".$aStrings[$j]."</i><br>n"); } print("<br>"); print("Here it is again:<br>n"); $aStrings=$jTest->getAnArrayOfStrings(); for($j=0; $j<sizeof($aStrings); $j++) { print("<i>".$j."=".$aStrings[$j]."</i><br>n"); } ?> Here's the Java code from PHPTest.java public class PHPTest { public String getAString() { return "This is a String"; } public String[] getAnArrayOfStrings() { return new String[]{"Element 1", "Element 2", "Element 3", "Element 4"}; } } The non-default part of my php.ini: [java] java.class.path=/usr/local/lib/php_java.jar:/home/bridge/gsnlib/classes:/usr/local/lib/php_java.jar:/home/bridge/externlib:/home/bridge/externlib/Una_Enterprise.zip java.library.path=/home/bridge/externlib/modules java.library=/usr/local/jdk1.2.2-RC4/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so extension_dir=/home/bridge/externlib/modules extension=libphp_java.so From php-4.0.2's config.status: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-java --with-mysql --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6616
