Its like the Bug id #13371, just i found the same thing with Apache 1.3.22.

Installed:
Apache 1.3.22
PHP 4.0.6 (both, full and installer make problems)
MySQL 4.0.0a
on a Win XP En Machine.
PHP used with php4apache.dll

Very weird things:
Some code dont work, some work fine.
Ex.: phpMyAdmin dont have any problems

Code Example:

//Login
function login($uin){
	if($uin == "xxx") return 1;

//simple abfrage (1 user)

Take a look at the special marked part in the code. If this part isnt included, the i still have errors, but only about 20% than with the code (lol).
The code should be 100% correct also, and on *nix servers it runs very well.

Theremore the output is always different. It outputs what it wants :) with part like "dddfffff" and 200x a "F", this also in a loop where thats nearly impossible :)

Also i tested it with some friends. At the time it runned well on my localhost (with a smaller code), i wget the document from an other server (ping ~20) and had some more errors in it, but constant more (tried it more than once).
An other person tried it also (ping ~60) and never reached the dokument how it should be.

Hope i can help out with this :p

OK, its like i expected.
When you fill out a loop (any kind of one) with enough data it happens (a overflow??)

<?
//create an array with 100 items with different informations
for($i=0;$i<100;$i++){
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$testarray[] = md5(uniqid(rand()));
}
?>
	<table>
<?
//output from this array, 3 times for enougth data
for($i=0;$i<100;$i++){
?>		<tr>
			<td>
				<font face="Tahoma, Tahoma, Tahoma" size="1" color="black" style="text-decoration:none">
				<a href="#" target="top"><?=$testarray[$i]?></a></font>
			</td>
			<td>
				<font face="Tahoma, Tahoma, Tahoma" size="1" color="black" style="text-decoration:none">
				<a href="#" target="top"><?=$testarray[$i]?></a></font>
			</td>
			<td>
				<font face="Tahoma, Tahoma, Tahoma" size="1" color="black" style="text-decoration:none">
				<a href="#" target="top"><?=$testarray[$i]?></a></font>
			</td>
		</tr>
<? };?>
	</table>

run apache in single process mode eg:

apache -X

It's probably a bug in the duplicatesocket
 [2002-03-07 04:45 UTC] hholzgra@php.net
stop! the -X option is for debugging purposes only,
as all requests will now be serialized and handled
by a single apache process

this is *not* what you want in a production environment!
the -X option is meant for debugging purposes only, as
debugging a apache process farm can become a nightmare ...

if the problem does *not* show up with -X then it is
most likely related to process coordination or something,
which makes it harder to debug ... :(

but once again: -X is *not* a solution, it is just one
of the means to find the cause 


 [2002-03-20 14:25 UTC] greg dot burri at net2000 dot ch
I have find a ""solution"" :
I have activates gzip compression (see php.ini) and it works.....
 [2002-03-21 04:56 UTC] hholzgra@php.net
no, you have found a workaround that hides the actual problem for now, maybe due to reduced output buffer sizes ...
 [2002-03-21 07:07 UTC] wez@php.net
Sounds like it is related to Bugs #15613 and #15245.
This really needs sorting out for PHP 4.2
 [2002-06-18 19:01 UTC] sniper@php.net
Try Apache 1.3.24 and PHP 4.2.1.
Reopen if problem persists.

 [2002-07-24 02:43 UTC] sinachen at chtd dot com dot tw
i try Apache 1.3.26 and PHP 4.2.1
it's work fine :)
