While developing a complex PHP application, I wrote an 
include file that generates a simple web-based form. This 
include file is accessed through one of 2 different pages 
(admins.php or members.php). When the file is included in 
admins.php, everything works peachy. When the file is 
included in members.php, the form only partially displays, 
Apache generates a seg fault, and the page is never 
rendered. This problem occurred on only one other script 
page that I noticed.


I originally discovered this with an OS X install (on a 
dual-G4, built from packages found on the web), but copied 
all the relevant files to a Linux PPC machine (604e) with 
different build options, and encountered the same problem 
there. Then I copied the files to an OpenBSD machine, and 
did NOT see the problem (which leads me to believe it may 
be processor related).

I built a new version of PHP to include --enable-debug and 
a few other options (gd, trans-sid), and now even MORE 
pages generate seg faults, though a simple php_info() page 
works fine.

I'm including below a copy of the Apache seg fault error 
line, and the backtrace. Happy to allow access to php_info 
upon request...

Apache's error log reads:
[Sat Apr  7 20:18:18 2001] [notice] child pid 25681 exit 
signal Segmentation fault (11)

No core is dumped (Mac OS X doesn't seem to do this).

Running Apache under gdb as instructed generates this 
backtrace:

After careful rewriting of several code segments that 
contributed to the conditions causing the crash, I appear 
to have resolved the problem. I can now attribute the 
circumstances to bad coding somewhere, but there was 
nonetheless something un-graceful about PHP's handling of 
the error. I'll leave the bug open for now in case someone 
wants to look at cleaning up PHP's manner of handling the 
error, but close it if appropriate.

It would help a lot if you would add a shortest possible
self containing script into this report which could be used
to reproduce this. And you should also try with latest CVS
snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/

I was desperately searching for code fragments that seemed 
to reproduce the problem, but I ran into it in the midst of 
an EXTREMELY large object-oriented app built on top of a 
full-blown generic PHP object framework...the page on which 
the error was generated was parsing at least 1500 lines of 
code before executing. Given that I was getting NO output 
for feedback, it was impossible to tell during what segment 
of execution PHP was tanking.

I've written tens of thousands of lines of PHP code, and 
never ran into this problem before, so I knew it wasn't a 
simple matter, and wasn't likely to be captured in a short, 
self-contained script. Not much help for tracking down the 
problem, I know, but it is likely that it was a case of a 
whole series of events/variable declarations/parse errors 
that all contributed to the crash. Altering the code in 
several places at once (since most functionality was 
dependant upon other functionality) was the only way I 
managed to resolve the issue and stop the crashes.

i am almost sure this is the infinite include problem. e.g.

a.php:
<?include 'a.php'?>

it is known and can be fixed using include_once/require_once

if you have found something different, please reopen
