Description:
------------
CMD php index.php on MediaWiki for example does not return anything (blank)

While if you would start the script with a parameter to edit a wiki article it would serve the edit page. If you save it the new page will will be loaded but if you then refresh the page it will be 404 (blank).

This does not only occur with MediaWiki but also on my vBulletin forums wich sometimes return a blank screen or 404. This does not occur always but sometimes on the forum while on MediaWiki the index always returns a blank screen.

My host has already completely reinstalled PHP 5.2.0 and it still returns the same errors.

I did not change anything in MediaWiki or vBulletin so it must be related to PHP.

My host is reall verry experienced and knows what they are doing. PHP has been installed 2 times now by 2 difrent techs during the past 10 hours.

Is this a known bug? Please help!

Best Regards,
Jan Jaap

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://www.celebrityprofiler.com/ (MediaWiki)
http://www.papegaaienforum.nl/ (vBulletin forum, just click arround a few times untill a 404 is given)

Expected result:
----------------
Blank screen (no output) wich is interpreted by IE as 404.

Actual result:
--------------
Serving the script.

enable display_errors=On , disable all third party extensions, mediawiki works perfectly with php 5.2.0 , most likely not a PHP problem.

Hi!

It's not about MediaWiki! It allso affects vBulletin and most likely other PHP scripts.

It's a default PHP instalation so it should work!

Error reporting has been enabled however, but before it was enabled it didn't work either.

Ok! 

Adding display_errors=On did it! Now it works! :)

So this might be a real bug, since display_errors=On isn't enabled by default and I presume it shouldn't cause script failure (returning nothing) of any kind when disabled.

Ok, I was to quick with my reply, it seems to be related to ZEND.

This is my configuration in PHP.ini:

;[Zend]
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.2.0
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.2.0
zend_optimizer.version=3.2.0
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so

When this is disabled, it does work!

Please help!!

Best Regards,
Jan Jaap

Do not file bugs when you have Zend extensions (zend_extension=)
loaded. Examples are Zend Optimizer, Zend Debugger, Turck MM Cache,
APC, Xdebug and ionCube loader.  These extensions often modify engine
behavior which is not related to PHP itself.
