The following are labels often used to signify a PHP 5 bug: Type: Zend Engine 2 Version ex: 5CVS-2003-04-11 (dev) There are currently bugs that have one or both of these qualities and search.php allows for these searches. Since your using Windows I'm not sure how to create a backtrace but for good measure, here are some steps for reporting a PHP bug: a) Is it already a bug? Spend some time searching the bug database here: http://bugs.php.net/search.php b) Follow these detailed instructions on reporting a bug: How to report a PHP bug: http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If a crash / segfault exists, be sure PHP is compiled with: --enable-debug This will help create a useful backtrace. After compile, create the crash and generate a backtrace: How to generate a backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php Not sure how to do this in Windows, maybe someone else does. c) Report the bug: http://bugs.php.net/report.php Be sure to follow the advice in the HOWTO. Like, include a short example to reproduce the bug and any other relevent information like for example if the bug is related to ldap, include ldap version information. d) If someone marks it as Bogus don't fret, spend some time pondering why. Maybe it's not a PHP bug? Or something silly like a support question? Or *gasp* a little miscommunication?! Regards, Philip
