Description:
------------
The code crash apache.exe with php-5.0.0/apache-1.3.31 and php-4.3.3/apache-1.3.27 (2 pc, 2 config)

The GET request does not appear in access.log and error.log.

this bug's odd, perhaps not important, but i send you feedback anyway.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
function funcfunc($array,$space="")
{
 foreach($array as $key=>$value) { if(is_array($array[$key])) { $src.=$key; } }
 return $src;
}

function funcfunc2($array,$test)
{
 foreach($array['test'] as $key=>$value) { }
 return $array;
}

$test['lol']['test1']="test1";
$test['lol']['test2']="test2";
$array=funcfunc($test);
$array=funcfunc2($array,"test");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Just a fatal error.

i got the same obscure crash with php 5.0 + apache 2.0.48 on win98se with this code snippet:
---------
<?
$x=1;
while($s2=$this->db_fetch_row($s))
{						$x['birthday'].=$this->parse_tpl("k_links",$s2);
}
?>
--------
no errors, just apache crash

Can you provide the 'crash' output?  Since this is for windows, is there anything relevant in the logs you can view from Event Viewer?  In there you would see any messages relating to an kernel, application, or service crash?

For info:

This bug does'nt work on apache 1.3.24 & php 4.2.5 under Redhat and slackware.

Nothing special happens on Red Hat 9.0 with Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.4. Just the normal complaint about foreach().

I got the crach with PHP 4.3.7 + Apache 1.3.31 + Linux
and PHP 4.3.4 + Apache 2.0.47 + Linux RH9.
It didn't work with PHP 4.3.5 + Apache 1.3.29 + Win2K.

A bit minimized version of this crash code:
<?php
 function funcfunc($array){
  foreach($array as $key=>$value) { $src.=$key; }
  return $src;
 }

 function funcfunc2($array){
  foreach($array['foo'] as $key=>$value) { }
 }

 $a['x']['y']="";
 $array=funcfunc($a);
 funcfunc2($array);
?>

Confirmed this condition also exists on php 4.3.8 on Apache 2.0.50.  Ran both segments of code given below.  Each time the output of the script was good, but there was no access/error log generated by Apache.
 [2004-08-09 17:31 UTC] sbrown at truckstuffusa dot com 
Sorry, fogot to mention I'm running Redhat 9 here.
 [2004-08-09 22:41 UTC] brian at centurionservice dot com 
Confirmed bug on RedHat 9, Apache 2.0.50, PHP 4.3.8. Reports a segmentation fault in the Apache error log and no entry in the access log. httpd seems to recover fine with no user interaction nessesary.

Seg fault if ran through the CLI version on RedHat 9, PHP 4.3.8.

Crashes on Windows XP, PHP 5 using the CLI version.
 [2004-08-10 17:44 UTC] hazer at chipshot dot net 
Reproducable on Apache 2.0.48 mod_ssl OpenSSL0.9.7c PHP 5.0.0 Linux Kernel 2.6.7 GCC 3.2.2

Run through CLI it gives a seg fault.

Viewed via web it gives nothing, even if there is something to be output before the code in question. It doesn't look like we can expect this to be used for 'hiding' pages on the server, but there is something that needs to be looked at...

Confirming on Redhat 9, apache 1.3.31, php 4.3.8 
 
running php crash.php gives segfault.  Running through 
apache gives dreaded 'child exit signal segfault'. 
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This works fine for me here...

This crash still happens with 4.3.9RC1. 
I haven't tried php5 yet
