The STABLE snapshots are not from the development branch, so change is that it didn't make it in the 4_2 release branch. You might want to try a non-stable snapshot which are made from the latest development branch.

Hi,
I've installed Apache 2.0.39 on Debian 2.2 and 2.4, which went fine. Then installing php 4.2.1, the configure goes fine,

./configure --prefix=/opt/php-4.2.1 --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-ftp --enable-magic-quotes --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-dbase --enable-dbx --enable-ftp --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-mbstring --enable-track-vars --enable-ucd-snmp-hack --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-yp --enable-shared=PKGS --enable-debug --enable-memory-limit --with-zlib --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --with-mysql --with-snmp --with-apxs2=/opt/httpd-2.0.39/bin/apxs

It finds apache2 support, and suggests using apache2filter (which I think it should be doing)

 but the make gives an error:

gcc -I. -I/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1/sapi/apache2filter -I/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1/main -I/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1 -I/opt/httpd-2.0.39/include -I/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1/Zend -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1/ext/mysql/libmysql -I/usr/include/ucd-snmp -I/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1/ext/xml/expat -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1/TSRM -DTHREAD=1 -g -O2 -pthread -Wall -DZTS -c php_functions.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o php_functions.lo

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/php/php-4.2.1/sapi'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Now if I delete lines 92, 93 and 94 from sapi/apache2filter/php_functions.c which are:

#if !MODULE_MAGIC_AT_LEAST(20020506,0)
                ADD_STRING(boundary);
#endif

and then continue the make, it all seems to go fine. Make install copies everything to the right directory and doing a <? phpinfo() ?> shows that everything should be functioning neatly.

Now the problem!

When writing cookies to a client, sometimes the cookie will not be written and sometimes it will be - this behaviour is consistent in terms of site a will never write the cookies, but site b will always write the cookie! (see code below)

Never works
setcookie("netuser", $row["werknemer_ID"], time()+3600, "/");
setcookie["netlanguage", $row["row_lang"], time()+3600,"/");
setcookie["netlastlogin", $row["last_login"], time()+3600,"/");
$werknemer_ID=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["netuser"];

Always works
setcookie("user", $userID, time()+(3600*3), "/")
$userID=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["soluser"];

The only thing we've managed to figure out is that in the first example, we write to the cookie 3 times (using similar statements) and in the second example we only create the cookie once. Every time we write to the cookie again, it overwrites (deletes) the old cookies  and replaces it with the last cookie. So what you end up with, is the netlastlogin cookie, and netuser and netlanguage don't exist on the client harddrive. This used to work under php4.2.0!

Under apache 2.0.36 and php 4.2.0 compiled with the same settings, I never experienced this behaviour and I have no idea what's causing it! Any help is much appreciated!

That error was fixed in CVS recently, but leaving this open because of the bad cookies

Well after extensive testing, I have to conclude it's probably not a php
(alone) problem.
I have tried:
PHP ver.     Apache ver.    --enable-so    works?   error
---------------------------------------------------------
4.2.1            2.0.39             yes       no     yes
2.1              36                 yes       yes    no
2.0              39                 yes       no     yes
2.0              36                 no        no     yes
2.0              36                 yes       yes    no
4.0.3pl1         1.3.9              ?         yes    ?

(4.0.3pl1 is the standard debian package)
The rest of the 2.1 installations (with apache 39) don't work and give
errors, so there's some problem with the apxs interaction between php
and httpd 2.0.39. As php2.1.0 works with httpd 2.0.36 I'm now assuming
there was a change in the apxs of apache in the security fix version
which renders the multiple cookies unwriteable. I'll send this off to
apache as well.
Cheers

The guys at apache maintain it's a php problem, something with HEAD or so (see apache bug # 10061) so I'm back here now... 

Grtz

http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz fixes this.

yup, php4-200206240000 worked, but now without yp support... next bug Cheers

Running apache 2.0.39 with php 4.2.2-dev (latest stable) compiled as module on winnt. Experiencing the same problem. Php refuses to set multiple cookies. If setting more than a single cookie in a row, only the last cookie gets set (if you're lucky). Is a fix for this on the way?

http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz fixes this.

it doesn't say stable here, only fixed in the 4.3.0dev version.

I just tried to install this on my red.hat 6.2 system with apache 2.0.39 installed and I get the following

This happened on the make.....what now?

You need the latest CVS version of Apache2 too.
(2.0.40)

Apache2 (and support for it in PHP) are really experimental
still. You're better of with apache 1.3.26 anyway.

I just have trouble with this issue using both the newest PHP and Apache2-release (4.3.2 / 2.0.46).

Only the first of multiple cookies gets set.
Any ideas?
