PHP 4.0 Bug #9754: Canceled stdout streams end up in apache's error_log

From: seth@brivo.com Operating system: Linux 2.4.2 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: Canceled stdout streams end up in apache's error_log If you readfile() a large file, then cancel the stream, the entire file ends up in the error_log. For some reason, on stream cancel, it then writes the file into Apache's error_log. Simple script: header("Content-type: audio/mpeg"); header("Content-length: $song[size]"); @readfile($song[filename]); Just start this, cancel the stream, and watch your error_log. I tried manipulating php.ini's error log attributes, but it didn't help. I turned off all logging, and it still showed up. It's important to note it's not only readfile() that can place its contents into error_log. I see this with other large (very large) outputs of just text. If I cancel the downloading of a very large result page from PHP, it too will end up in the error_log. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9754&edit=1
