Description:
------------
Error handler seems to destroy array indices if called due
to a undefined array index generated by a function.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
        $test = "aaa";
}

set_error_handler('handler');

$output[trim("bbbbbbb")]++;
print_r($output);


Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [bbbbbbb] => 1
)


Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [aaa] => 1
)

The problem seems to be that dim->value is overwritten, copying the value solves this. I don't have enough insight in Zend to know if this is a memory leak and the values should be freed at some point or if this is ok.

Hope this helps:

You now have a memory leak. I tried something similar too. But we decided to look for a better solution where we don't gc the variable we still need.

The bug is fixed in PHP5 CVS (zend.c,v 1.260).

Problem still exists in PHP4 branch

A workaround patch (without memory leak ;-)) can be found at http://cschneid.com/php/php4/bug25547.patch

The patch applied perfectly, and the make test didnt find any error after this.

Altough, my problem ([Mon Jan  5 01:48:52 2004] [notice] child pid 3965 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
) every time I access an php page, persists. Not associated :) Back to google.

That patch fixed my 4.3.4 release tarball, running on Sun's JDS, compiled in CLI mode.

Look like we'll be waiting for the 4.3.5 release now.

;-)

Regards and best wishes,

Just experienced this when doing a "make test" with PHP 4.3.5RC1, on a newly installed Sun Java Desktop System (a stripped down version of SuSE Linux).

I am afraid the patch did not have the desired effect for me. I am still faced with the error (when making a make test) after compiling php with sablotron, see below.

I patched the php-4.3.4 tarball with:

patch -p1 < bug25547.patch

Result is an error

Ideas anyone?

This bug is still present in 4.3.4 and 4.3.5RC4 (aka php4-STABLE-200403091230), on both Linux Slackware 9.0 and 9.1. If patched as described, the bug disappears from both Linux/php versions.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
