using the latest dev build of php causes apache to crash when using phpMyAdmin and going to 'users' on the main page when using it as 'root', this also happened during phpinfo(); but i haven't been able to reproduce it with phpinfo(); there is no information given with the error, the 'send a bug report to microsoft' dialog comes up, and says apache has had a fatal error, after downgrading apache so that i could use the stable version of php, the problem appears to be fixed.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.


Try the newly released 4.3.0-pre2, if you still experience the crash, please provide the shortest possible script that can be used to replicate the problem.

I to have similar problems. My setup is a Win2000 SP3, running Apache 2.0.43 w/PHP as a Apache 2.0 Filter (I can reproduce this on any 4.3.0 build I have tried, and am currently running Nov 16 2002 10:12:13 Latest STABLE 4.3.0-dev). I have tried this with phpMyAdmin current 2.3.3-dev builds from the past month. I am also running MySQL 4.0.4-beta (but have seen it in the past running MySQL 3.23.52). I am running with 1GB of memory and have configured Win00 for such memory.

Selecting a link into phpMyAdmin Index page and navigating through various options will ultimately cause Apache2 to take a dump. I have not found a function that reproduces the dump every time (after a fresh start of Apache2), but inevitably Apache2 takes a dump. After the first dump, phpMyAdmin options seem cause dumps more easily. Restarting Apache2 allows me to work for a while longer before the dumps startup again.

I may or maynot have selected the link causing the prior to Apache2 taking the dump, i.e. I have caused the dump by selecting a phpMyAdmin based link for the first time (after an Apache2 restart), I have also created it by re-selecting a link, and I have also gone multiple links into phpMyAdmin w/o a problem and caused the dump by using the browser "Back Page" option. I can cause this with or without doing any updates.

Basically, you can cause the abend simply by wondering around in phpMyAdmin for a while and backing up. The page/link does not seem to matter, just the fact I am spending time in phpMyAdmin.

I have both a DrWatson log and User.dmp from the Apache2 server if you would like them.

NOTE: I can NOT reproduce with the the any of the 4.2.4-dev releases I have run. They are rock solid and hours of working with phpMyAdmin on the same configuration have never caused Apache2 to take a dump. I have also not been able to reproduce this with any of my own pages, or other PHP based products (both using and not using MySQL).

Same Problem here.

Win2k Professional, Apache 2.0.43, PHP 4.2.3 (but with php4ts.dll and php4apache2.dll from PHP 4.3.0-dev) and phpMyAdmin 2.3.3-rc1-php

Everytime i choose a table in the left sidemenu my apache.exe crashes. But i haven't localized the problem yet.

Sorry, there is a failure in the above: Not when i am selecting a table, but a database.

I have this problem too. Windows XP, Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.2.3, also tried Apache 1.3.27. Tried configuring PHP as module and via CGI, I get the exact same thing: choose a database on the left side menu and get a server-crash.

I have applied phpMyAdmin 2.3.3-rc2 (26 November daily) and the PHP 4.3.0 rc2 binaries and all seems stable (1/2 hour no Apache2 dumps, vs. << 2 minutes to cause one).
