Bug #13711 Updated: set_time_limit affects other requests on the same Apache process

ID: 13711 Updated by: derick Reported By: tal@forum2.org Old Status: Assigned Status: Critical Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 Old Assigned To: derick Assigned To: New Comment: I could not reproduce this with CVS of 15-10-2001 on Linux/Apache 1.3.22 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-17 08:37:22] sander@php.net Reproduced with 4.0.7RC3 on Apache_1.3.22 on Win2k, and 4.0.6 on 1.3.20 on Debian Linux. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-17 07:56:01] mfischer@php.net Verified on W2k, Apache 1.3.20 and 4.0.6. However, can't reproduce on Linux with RC3. Can you try a newer version plz? - Markus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-17 07:41:44] derick@php.net Checking it out... if it's true, it's a critical bug. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-17 06:29:40] tal@forum2.org set_time_limit, rather than applying to the currently running script, applies to other PHP scripts as well (including scripts from other domains on the same server). Apparently, set_time_limit affects any future PHP script that will be handled by the same instance of Apache (when using mod_php), i.e., the timeout value is not reset for every new script. Simple testing: (Warning: this test will reduce server availability for the duration of the test.) a. Make sure that PHP logs all errors in a file. b. create a web page (PHP script) that only does "set_time_limit(1)". c. Load that page (you might wish to reload it several times). Now watch the tail of the PHP error log, as more and more "scrpit timed out after 1 second" errors appear in completely unrelated PHP scripts running on the server. To stop the test, just run a different script that returns set_time_limit to its default. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13711&edit=1
