I got the error when running phpinfo.php.
Seems that I get a valid page back, but then get this "PHP Script Interpreter" error.

When I click on more info, it says...
szAppName: php.exe
szAppVer: 4.3.5.5
szModName: php4ts.dll
szModVer: 4.3.5.5
offset: 000c0674

There are also the same two attached files, if required I can reproduce and send them.

Hope this helps

I cannot reproduce this. Please make sure that you have removed traces of the old php install. Also do you have any extensions enabled in your php.ini? Try without any extensions.

I used the windows installer to install on top of 4.3.3.  How would I "remove all traces?"

I use the windows installer default install extensions and DMITRI'S php_dbg.dll.

OK, using your suggestions, I have narrowed it to one extention causing the problem.  When I comment out the php_printer.dll extension, then I don't get the crash.

Any thoughts on what issue that dll might have?

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

printer extension is not a standard PHP extension, it is 
part of the PECL repository. Please report the bug on 
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/ where all PECL bugs are 
addressed. 

My CLI issue has nothing to do with the printer extension.

My PHP.INI has no extensions enabled.

All files in the c:\PHP directory are from the zip version of 4.3.5. (25/03/2004 3:33pm)

The following extensions were NOT updated as part of this release:

C:\PHP\extensions\php_iisfunc.dll
C:\PHP\extensions\php_printer.dll
C:\PHP\extensions\php_iconv.dll

These extensions are NOT enabled in PHP.INI and I have removed them from the extensions directory.

I am STILL getting this problem even with the following script.

<?php echo "Hello"; ?>

As this script is NOT using ANY extensions and I am NOT loading ANY extensions in my PHP.INI file, I can only conclude that this IS an issue with PHP and NOT any PECL extension.

The above script does generate a different offset.

AppName: php.exe
AppVer: 4.3.5.5
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00ac41f0

Even ...

<?php ?>

generates the same error.


I am executing the PHP files via the command line.

I have added PHP to PATHEXT (which allows PHP files to be executed like a BAT/COM/EXE file. I have removed all the windows scripting extensions (VBS/VBE/JS/JSE/WSF/WSH).

Using Windows Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|File Types|PHP, the default method of Run is set to run C:\PHP\CLI\PHP.EXE "%1"

This allows me to simply type the name of script at the command line and have the output (if any) appear on the console. The scripts I run in this way tend NOT to be used within a webserver and are normally scheduled using windows Tasks.

This worked prior to V4.3.5 and I have swapped to V4.3.4 (rename C:\PHP -> C:\PHP_435 and C:\PHP_434 -> C:\PHP) and all is well again. Change to 4.3.5 and the bug returns.

Richard Quadling.

By removing the ZEND Optimizer entries in the PHP.INI file, I have removed the problem.


I have copied my PHP.INI file from C:\WINDOWS to C:\PHP\CLI and removed the ZEND optimizer section from the new INI file.

Then, I've changed the "Open" command from ...

C:\PHP\CLI\PHP.EXE "%1"

to

C:\PHP\CLI\PHP.EXE -c C:\PHP\CLI\PHP.INI "%1"

I am no longer receiving any errors.

Regards,

Richard Quadling.

OK. So this is not a bug in php itself. Please see http://www.zend.com/support/ for zend support options.

What kind of support is this?

The printer dll and Zend optimizer are part of the default install.  Therefore there should be better support than to tell us to go somewhere else and clasifing the status as BOGUS.

Telling me to go to the support page actually doesn't tell me where to where to look for support.  I don't know the internals of PHP.  I don't understand what PECL means.  How do you expect us to know that.  We've helped by narrowing the problem, but it is still a problem with PHP.  I did a quick search on the PECL site and can't find a reference to a print package.

Richard, I now see that my PHP bug is different than yours, and I'm sorry that I muddied up your bug submission.  I thought I was doing pretty good when I searched the bug database for 4.3.5 and found the same message as I was getting being "Please tell Microsoft about this problem".

P.S.  There is no way to enter a ZEND support ticket for the ZEND optimizer, so that suggestion also isn't very good.

The Zend Optimizer is NOT part of the default install.

Yep, you got me on the optimizer.  Sorry
