Bug #15292 Updated: include() causes maxclients in apache.

ID: 15292 Updated by: swm Reported By: morbid@bloodheart.com Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: RedHat 7.1 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Correct me I am wrong, but you seem to be saying that your script includes a file via HTTP which is either itself or another file which includes itself or the original (I cannot tell from your description). But yes, if a script needs to include itself than that will create an infinite loop. There is no way that the scripting engine could preemptively terminate this loop when HTTP based includes are being used. Reopen if I have mis-understood.
