From: fbeyer@clickhand.de Operating system: Windows 98 PHP version: 4.1.0 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Endless Recursion in method I'm using PHP 4.1.0 on Windows 98 with no DLL-Extensions loaded. Accidently I wrote a class method that called itself instead of an other method: function getText($id) { ... return $text; // A valid string } function getHTML($id) { return htmlentities($this->getHTML($id)); // Here is my misstake: Should be getText() instead getHTML() } This code causes my Apache/1.3.20 (Win32) to crash. Okay, it's my misstake as programmer but should a wrong code be able to crash the server??? Thank you guys, you do a great job!
