There seems to be some voodoo in this script ...

for ( $i = -7 ; $i < 28 ; $i ++ ) {
        $day = date('d');
        print "\ndate is $day ";
        $day = $day + $i;
        print " after adding $i is $day ";
}

And output ends up looking like so:

date is 20  after adding -7 is 135122101

Works fine for me, can you try the RC from www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC3.tar.gz ?

Perhaps a problem with the Debian libraries, cannot confirm problem on PHP 4.0.6 under Solaris 2.8. Output of the code is correct in that machine and PHP version.

Code also tested by _RainMkr_ (from #php) using PHP 4.0.6 under Linux 2.4.5

Need feedback on whether other numeric programs have similar problems under that version of Debian.

More info from _RainMkr_: "Running on woody, Linux 2.4.5, PHP 4.0.6"

What version is the Debian showing this problem?

Recompiled 4.1.0RC3 using Apache 1.3.22.

Yes, mathematics now works correctly. Haven't tested fully yet, but the first glance looks like it works.

Nice, closing this one.

I'm curious, what do you think the problem was? libc6-dev and libc6 mismatch? I haven't kept a track of upgrades, although I believe libc6 hasn't been changed since long before Apache was compiled.

It also caused segfaults and other random wierdness in Apache.

The listed libc6 package (in previous report) isn't a current one on any Debian flavour.

potato: 2.1.3-19
woody: 2.2.4-5
If that sheds any light on the subject.
