This is a big snip of the code:

$temp_file_path="/temp/x/1234.IMG.gz";
$interfile_final_path="/temp/1234.IMG.gz";

printf("<P>BEFORE:temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>",                            $temp_file_path,$interfile_final_path   
                         ); 
$file_name = $interf->getFileName();               printf("<P>AFTER:temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>",
$temp_file_path,$interfile_final_path ):

Object $interf, is a class created by me.
The method getFileName() of the class is implemented like this:   

function getFileName()
{
     $aux =  $this->_getFileName();
     //print "aux= $aux<BR>";
     $ret = basename( $aux, ".IMG.gz" );
     //print "ret=$ret<BR>";  
     return $ret;
}

My problem is that var $temp_file_path after a call to method getFileName, gets the value returned by getFileName
Is there any way of knowing the address( pointer like ) of a variable?

My configure line: 
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-pgsql'
            '--with-oci8=/usr/local/oracle' '--with-oracle=/usr/local/oracle' '--with-debug'

Also, ftp functions are active.


If any adicional information is needed please let me know.

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

There are no pointers in PHP, but in some cases references will do.

I, i'm sorry to upset you again....but i have some extra things to tell you about the bug:

The code seams to be right, doesnt it?
Please take a look at the explanations below.


 >$temp_file_path="/temp/x/1234.IMG.gz";
   >$interfile_final_path="/temp/1234.IMG.gz";

   >printf("<P>BEFORE:temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>",    
   >                       $temp_file_path,$interfile_final_path   
   >                         ); 
   
   Output: BEFORE:temp_file_path=/temp/x/1234.IMG.gz<BR>interfile_final_path=/t
   
   >$file_name = $interf->getFileName();
   >printf("<P>AFTER:temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>", $temp_f
   
   Output: AFTER:temp_file_path=/temp/x/1234<BR>interfile_final_path=/temp/1234

   After this line, var $temp_file_path has changed...reason????

   If i comment out the getFileName() line, the output is correct. 
   It seams that PHP is executing something like: $temp_file_name =
   $file_name after getFileName() method.
   
   Again, i'm very sorry if you dont think this a bug, but this anormal beaviour
isnt right. Dont you agree?

Regards
Miguel

Can you provide a _simple_ and _selfcontained_ sample script, say about 5 lines long, so we can play with it a little?
 [2002-06-27 07:55 UTC] miguel at ipatimup dot pt 
I, here are the requested lines:

$temp_file_path = "/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz";    
$interfile_final_path = "/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz";
$full_file_path = $temp_file_path;
printf("<P>BEFORE:temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>",
                           $temp_file_path,$interfile_final_path
                         );
$ficheiro_nome = basename( $full_file_path, ".IMG.gz");
printf("<P>AFTER: temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>",
                           $temp_file_path,$interfile_final_path
                         );
die();

Your example code prints out:

BEFORE:temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz
interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz
AFTER: temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz
interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz

Looks right to me.

How do you get the right output?
The output you have got is the right output.
On my PHP i got:

BEFORE:temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz
interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz
AFTER: temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234
interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz

How can this be possible?

Does any one have any solution, tip?

Thank's

Are you sure you are using PHP 4.2.1?  There was a bug once upon a time where basename() corrupted the source string.  You could try upgrading to a newer version of PHP.
 [2002-06-28 06:23 UTC] miguel at ipatimup dot pt 
I, sorry, but the fault was mine.
I have reported to have PHP 4.2.1, but i have PHP 4.1.2.

Thanks
