PHP 4.0 Bug #8175 Updated: reproducable core with everything: <?phpinfo()?>

ID: 8175 User Update by: marco.walther@eng.sun.com Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Description: reproducable core with everything: <?phpinfo()?> Ok, the latest snapshot works: php4-200012110945 But I still leave this bug open because I don't know yet what's the difference. I basically don't want to drag the dev tree every day:-( Thanks for your fast response. -- Marco Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-11 10:57:34] sniper@php.net Please try the latest snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ I have used php within same system and apache without any problems. Compiled with same version of gcc. If you still get this crash with the latest snapshot, please include a gdb backtrace of it. Remember to configure php with --enable-debug to get useful backtrace. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-08 14:43:13] marco.walther@eng.sun.com [ Solaris 8 , gcc-2.95.2, Apache-1.3.14, dynamic modules] I basically could not run the dynamic php4 at all. Everything crashed on me. I've looked at the backtrace and ended up in send_php()[mod_php4.c] My problem was that mod_php4.c[451]: per_dir_conf = (HashTable *) get_module_config(r->per_dir_config,&php4_module); tried to load from `NULL[26]':-( I believe this works fine on Linux but it will crash on Solaris! (There is a workaround to preload a special library, but I don't know if that's the right way!) Ok, I've modified this one place in the style of mod_perl (Checking for NULL before calling the get_module_config() macro.) So I was able to get <?phpinfo()?> working. But I don't know how common the assumption is within php4 that a program can read from NULL! I've looked all over FAQ & Documentation but I could not find any place mention the need of 0@0.so or something similar. Maybe somebody can enlighten me a little bit.
