[PHP4BETA] SET_VAR_STRINGL causes SIGSEGV

gdb-trace at the bottom. in php.h: #define SET_VAR_STRING(n,v) { \ { \ pval var; \ char *str=v; /* prevent 'v' from being evaluated more than once */ \ var.value.str.val = (str); \ var.value.str.len = strlen((str)); \ var.type = IS_STRING; \ _php3_hash_update(&EG(symbol_table), (n), strlen((n))+1, &var, sizeof(pval),NULL); \ } \ i think this should be looking like this: #define SET_VAR_STRING(n,v) { \ { \ pval *var = emalloc(sizeof(pval)); \ char *str=v; /* prevent 'v' from being evaluated more than once */ \ var->value.str.val = (str); \ var->value.str.len = strlen((str)); \ var->type = IS_STRING; \ var->refcount = 1; \ var->is_ref = 0; \ _php3_hash_update(&EG(symbol_table), (n), strlen((n))+1, &var, sizeof(pval*),NULL); \ } \ } var should be a pval* shouln't it?? but making this change doesn't help! so, is there any sample how to create, read & update variables from the current php-scope? regards, tc using ora_bind: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x32780 in zval_ptr_dtor (zval_ptr=0xd63e4) at zend_execute_API.c:202 202 (*zval_ptr)->refcount--; (gdb) where #0 0x32780 in zval_ptr_dtor (zval_ptr=0xd63e4) at zend_execute_API.c:202 #1 0x39e44 in zend_hash_add_or_update (ht=0xb0d70, arKey=0xd6168 "__L__userid", nKeyLength=12, pData=0xefff9718, nDataSize=16, pDest=0x0, flag=1) at zend_hash.c:146 #2 0x4c4dc in ora_set_param_values (cursor=0x3d4e60, isout=1) at oracle.c:1792 #3 0x4ad0c in php3_Ora_Exec (ht=4017764, return_value=0xefff9858, list=0xb0dfc, plist=0xb0e28) at oracle.c:970 #4 0x4154c in execute (op_array=0x13ac78) at zend_execute.c:1328 #5 0x41670 in execute (op_array=0x145d18) at zend_execute.c:1354 #6 0x41670 in execute (op_array=0x1462c0) at zend_execute.c:1354 #7 0x41670 in execute (op_array=0x11f6a8) at zend_execute.c:1354 #8 0x41670 in execute (op_array=0x3788d0) at zend_execute.c:1354 #9 0x41670 in execute (op_array=0xcbf40) at zend_execute.c:1354 #10 0x23af0 in php_execute_script (primary_file=0xeffff920) at main.c:1203 #11 0x29538 in main (argc=2, argv=0xeffff9a4) at cgi_main.c:431 (gdb) p **zval_ptr $1 = {value = {lval = 0, dval = 0, str = {val = 0x0, len = 0}, chval = 0 '\000', ht = 0x0, obj = {ce = 0x0, properties = 0x0}}, type = 0 '\000', is_ref = 0 '\000', refcount = 0} Thies C.
