Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #7720 Updated: Return address in stackoverwritten?

You can't do infinite recursions in PHP, for obvious reasons. It doesnt work in any other sane language either. Try void function() { int i; function(); } in C, and marvel as you run out of stack. This isnt a bug in PHP, though its not handled that gracefully. 10,000 recursions is an awful lot anyway, and you should look at other methods to accomplish your goal (think of the memory usage even if you had enough stack!), imho. adamw ----- Original Message ----- From: "void" <sven@devcon.net> To: "Stanislav Malyshev" <stas@zend.com> Cc: <derick@php.net>; <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2000 12:47 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #7720 Updated: Return address in stackoverwritten? > Hi, > > On Thu, 9 Nov 2000, Stanislav Malyshev wrote: > > > v>> I want some 10.000 recursions no infinte ones.
