PHP 4.0 Bug #9746 Updated: pg_close (or autoclose) closes wrong connections

ID: 9746 User Update by: rich@horde.org Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: PostgreSQL related Description: pg_close (or autoclose) closes wrong connections I tried with php4-200103141145; still as described above. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-14 15:37:28] rich@horde.org I tried with php4-200103141145; still as described above. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-14 16:21:41] rich@horde.org I recall this coming up before, but I can't find it in the list of open or closed postgres bugs. It appears as though PHP is using the arguments to pg_connect to uniquely identify connections. For example: $dba = pg_connect("user=foo pass=bar dbname=baz"); $dbb = pg_connect("user=foo pass=bar dbname=baz"); pg_close($dba); # $dbb is closed now too Were one to use $dbb at this point, one would see PHP Warning: 1 is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in [file] at [line]. But, $dba = pg_connect("user=foo pass=bar dbname=baz"); $dbb = pg_connect("pass=bar user=foo dbname=baz"); pg_close($dba); # $dbb is still open and $dba = pg_connect("user=foo pass=bar dbname=baz"); $dbb = pg_connect("user=foo pass=bar dbname=baz "); pg_close($dba); # $dbb is still open The bug doesn't require that the handle be closed explicitly; I discovered it here where one of our programmers was having connections close when one fell out of scope. I tried moving back to PHP 4.0.2 but the bug's there too (so it doesn't look to be a regression problem); on the other hand, a DEC Alpha running Digital Unix 4.0e and PHP 4.0.2 does *not* exhibit this behaviour. If you're unable to duplicate it, please get in touch with me, and I'll see if I can make arrangements for a testing environment. I'll poke through the code myself for something obvious, but I'm unfamiliar with PHP internals in the first place (up to now, at least). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9746
