Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #8725 Updated: Fun with putenv

The latest snapshot made no difference. The behavior I describe persists. It's always the third execution of the script (second page reload) that produces the failure. By the way, at that point not only "exec" stops working, but "system" and "passthru" as well. It appears that "putenv" is the cause, since removing it from the script remedies the problem (after apache restart there is). It's quite possible that the problem is unique to my environment: SCO Opendesktop 5.05 Apache/1.3.14 with mod_php4 but that doesn't make the situation any easier. Couple of more points: -- the same script works fine when executed on the shell level -- every time phtml script fails, the following message is left in access_log: ": is not an identifier". If this matter is of any interest to the developers, I'll be more than happy to investigate (with proper guidance :-)) further.
