PHP 4.0 Bug #1761 Updated: require/include functions broken -- give "document contains no data error"

ID: 1761 User Update by: dmf14@cornell.edu Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Old-Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug Type: *General Issues Description: require/include functions broken -- give "document contains no data error" I have Apache 1.3.9 and include'ing doesn't work properly. Please take a look at this: http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3 http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3?sid=3 Now, try these: http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3 http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3?sid=2 Precisely the same code. PHP on zeraim incorporates the header & footer and then parses all as one, while on terumah it is attempting to parse the header & footer as if they were independent of the file into which they are included. Or in other words, PHP used to incorporate a 'require()ed' file without doing any work on it, and then parsed the whole thing together. So you could have an IF statement in the header [ if (...) { ] that ended in the footer [ } ]. No longer! That's why the same code is generating parse errors.

It's fixed in Apache 1.3.7/1.3.8 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1999-07-20 14:14:41] dmf14@cornell.edu Using the include or require function, seemingly anywhere, in a PHP script yields a "Document contains no data" error in Netscape or a "Unexpected network read error; connection aborted/Unable to access document" error in lynx. Example: file "foo.inc" contains one line: Hello file "foo.php" contains six lines: <html><head><title>Hello World!</title></head><body> <? require('foo.inc'); echo " world!<br>n"; ?> </body></html> Compile Information: Have PHP4 compiled as a shared Apache module (DSO) under Apache 1.3.6. Configure line: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql --enable-track-vars --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=1761
