PHP 4.0 Bug #7219: Mysql-related stack fault with PHP 4.0.3

From: rubein@earthlink.net Operating system: Win98 PHP version: 4.0.3 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Mysql-related stack fault with PHP 4.0.3 The following section of code produces a stack fault in PHP 4.0.3: while(1) { $append = array(); $append[0] = $resid; switch($restype) { case "messages": case "m": $append[1] = "messages"; $child = "messages"; $parent = "threads"; break; case "threads": case "t": $append[1] = "threads"; $child = "threads"; $parent = "boards"; break; case "boards": case "b": $append[1] = "boards"; $child = "boards"; $parent = "boards"; break; case "realms": case "r": $append[1] = "realms"; $restype = "realms"; break; } $ret[] = $append; if($restype == "realms") return $ret; $result = mysql_query("SELECT p.id AS id FROM $child AS c, $parent AS p WHERE c.id=$resid AND p.id=c.parent"); // THis is line 378. if($result = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $restype = $parent; $resid = $result["id"]; } else { $restype = "realms"; $resid = $realmid; } } Judging from some debug code I tossed in, this (bad) query is being sent to mysql: SELECT p.id AS id FROM AS c, AS p WHERE c.id=1 AND p.id=c.parent Although the query is incorrect (there's apparently a bug in my code somewhere, but that's irrelevant for the purposes of this bug report), it would make far more sense for PHP to either catch itself or at least get caught in an infinite loop. Instead, it stack faults: PHP caused a stack fault in module MSVCRT.DLL at 015f:780035be.
