Description:
------------
Making a simple xml transformation using xslt_process
gives from time to time a segfault. The  php code looks like this:

        $xmlFile = "file.xml";
        $xsl_url = "file.xsl";
        $result = xslt_process($xh, $xmlFile, $xsl_url);
        if ($result) {
                echo $result;
        } else {
                echo "Error";
        }
        xslt_free($xh);

I provide hereafter a backtrace after the segfault occured:

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc.

If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

[2006-07-18 14:49 UTC] gabriel dot zerbib at protilab dot com

The same test data (XML & XSL) in same context (same PHP application, same version) work and do not fail on Windows XP & IIS, whereas I experience the same problem on submitter's platform.

[2006-08-17 09:22 UTC] gabriel dot zerbib at protilab dot com

TEST DATA:

The files can be found at:
http://www.protilab.com/test/sample.xml
http://www.protilab.com/test/sample.xsl

And the PHP script can be run online at:
http://www.protilab.com/test/sample.php


SCENARIO:
An XSLT processor is instanciated using the XML and XSL files specified in the arguments, in a loop of 100 iterations.
Among these 100 iterations, a seg-fault is likely to happen.



XML file to process (sample.xml):
---------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sample.xsl"?>

<root>
	<node1 id="foo">
		<subnodeA>Some Data A</subnodeA>
		<subnodeA attr="123">Some Mode Data A</subnodeA>
	</node1>
	<node1 id="bar">
		<subnodeA>Some Data A in another node</subnodeA>
		<subnodeA attr="345">Some Mode Data in second node</subnodeA>
	</node1>
</root>
---------------------------------------------------


XSL file to apply (sample.xsl):
---------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<html>
			<head>
				<title>Title here</title>
			</head>

			<body>
				<xsl:for-each select="/root/node1">
					<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
					<ul>
						<xsl:for-each select="subnodeA">
							<li><xsl:value-of select="text()"/> <xsl:if test="@attr"> ( <xsl:value-of select="@attr"/> ) </xsl:if> </li> 
						</xsl:for-each>
					</ul>
				</xsl:for-each>
			</body>	
		</html>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
---------------------------------------------------


PHP script (sample.php)
---------------------------------------------------
<?
$xmlFile = 'sample.xml';
$xsl_url = 'sample.xsl';


for($i = 0; $i < 100; ++$i)
{

	$xh = xslt_create();
	xslt_set_encoding($xh, 'iso-8859-1');
	xslt_process($xh, $xmlFile, $xsl_url, 'result.html');
	xslt_free($xh);
	
	echo("iteration: $i = OK <br/>\n");

}
?>

Can't reproduce.

[2006-08-17 09:48 UTC] gabriel dot zerbib at protilab dot com

I'm sorry Tony, you were a little bit quick in closing with "can't reproduce".

You can just try the online demo. You'll manage to achieve the 100 iterations for some time, but if you hit Refresh a few times, you sure will run into the problem: the page will not come to you, your browser will report some proxy error or some "Host not found" error, which is in fact caused by a violent crash of the PHP script and PHP interpreter, never returning a response to your browser.

Please do not close this bug report too fast, as sample data were properly provided, and the target platform and system and version.

Thanks.

[2006-08-17 10:01 UTC] tony2001@php.net

What is the version of Sablotron used?
Are you able to get a decent GDB backtrace (using PHP configured with --enable-debug)?
What was your full configure line?

It works just fine here with 1.0.1 & Linux i386.

[2006-08-17 11:17 UTC] gerome dot fournier at infomaniak dot ch

You can get the details about this server using the following URL:

http://imu60.infomaniak.ch/phpinfo.php

We're using sablotron version 1.0 as provided by Debian sarge, and the configure command line is the following:

'./configure' '--disable-all' '--prefix=/opt/php' '--with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs' '--disable-ipv6' '--with-pear' '--enable-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-pcre-regex' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-ftp' '--with-mysql=/opt/misc/mysql' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ctype' '--with-curl=/usr' '--with-dom' '--with-dom-xslt' '--with-dom-exslt' '--enable-exif' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-png-dir' '--with-xpm-dir' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-gettext' '--with-iconv' '--with-imap' '--with-kerberos' '--with-imap-ssl' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mcal=/usr' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--enable-overload' '--enable-posix' '--enable-session' '--enable-tokenizer' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-xml' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot=/usr' '--with-zip' '--with-pdflib=/opt/misc/pdflib' '--with-tiff-dir=/usr' '--with-ming=/opt/misc/ming'

I don't have a more detailed GDB backtrace to provide for the moment.

[2006-08-17 11:56 UTC] tony2001@php.net

Please upgrade sablotron to the latest available version and see if it helps.

[2006-08-18 09:08 UTC] gabriel dot zerbib at protilab dot com

Tony, my apologies: I admit that the test data I provided were not enough likely to trigger the crash. I was trying to reduce the sise of the sample's source.

Here is a more realistic example:
http://www.protilab.com/test/sample2.php

The XML used is http://www.protilab.com/test/sample2.xml

and the XSL is http://www.protilab.com/test/xslt/home.xsl

(plus some incldues that you can read by yourself in the XSL).

Regards,
Gabriel.

[2006-08-21 08:20 UTC] tony2001@php.net

Did you upgrade sablotron?

>Here is a more realistic example:
>http://www.protilab.com/test/sample2.php
It works fine even on YOUR server (I can see 99 all the time), also I can't use it as a reproduce script, since I can't see the sources.
