used session_set_save_handler(...."sess_read"....);
and when session_start();
and also sess_read() returns _NONE_ string
e.g. function sess_read() { }
or function sess_read() { return false; }

browser get no response from apache (should be crash)


it should be strong enough :-)

"what i did":
code's here:

session_set_save_handler ('sess_open', 'sess_close', 'sess_read', 'sess_write', 'sess_destroy', 'sess_gc');
function sess_open() { return true;}
function sess_close() { return true;}
function sess_read() { return ""; }
function sess_write() {}
function ses_destroy() {}
function sess_gc() {}

session_start();
echo "program got here";
;--------------
ok, the above program won't crash the apache

but if i change:
--> function sess_read() { return ""; }
into:
--> function sess_read() { return null; }

"what i expected to happen" is: php `should` warnning me my returning isnot STRING, or keep running quietly

"what happened" is: no response from apache

and here why i report this bug:
a server running 100 website, one of the custom(the one can upload/update php file for his site) is able to attact the server by using the above script, making `fool` of the server



is the above info enough? :)

i'm using win2k to run apache+php
how can i get backtrace?

btw, i'm not sure that apache is fully 'down'
just browser get no response from apache
and can browse other php pages without restarting apache

i've tested it on my linux server, script finished quite fine
