Description:
------------
On windows, php 5.2.0 and above the following code (written in pseudo-code) doesn't work anymore:

socket = socket(AF_INET, ...);
bind(socket, ...);
listen(socket, ...);
outputHandle=GetStdHandle(...);
inputHandle=socket;
CreateProcess(...,"php-cgi.exe", ..., IOHandles);

The problem is that "is_fastcgi" is only set if the OutputHandle and ErrorHandle are invalid. If both are invalid, InputHandle is assumed to be a named pipe.

The Unix version still uses the old (correct) code.

To correct this problem either the old FCGI_isfcgi() should be used or the test must be dublicated. See procedures:

int fcgi_init(void);
int fcgi_is_fastcgi(void);

Jost Boekemeier




Reproduce code:
---------------
See above. If necessary I can provide a test program.

I don't see any difference with old code. See OS_IsFcgi() and OS_LibInit().

Also I don't understand for what reason some program passes stdout to PHP.

Because I thought you need to distinguish sockets from named pipes.
I have attached code which crashes php since 5.2.0.

yes. PHP expects pipe but not a socket.

In C you may even try to pass window HANDLE :)

May be older PHP versions were able to support sockets on win32, but I have never seen any FastCGI plugin implmentation that passes sockets. Also I don't see any sockets advantages (only disadvantages).

I don't think named pipes work on all operating systems. Furthermore Java supports only TCP socket communication (well, it is possible to access Windows and Unix named pipes from Java. But one has to implement it twice. RandomAccessFile on Windows, a pair of normal Files on Unix). 

To be practical -- and for backward compatibility -- we need a working TCP socket implementation on both operating systems. tcp sockets worked in PHP versions < 5.2.0 and I don't see a good reason to drop this.

ok. I'll add socket support for win32, but I am not sure when I'll have time for this work.

Fixed in CVS HEAD and PHP_5_2.
