Afternoon:
 
I'm having problems with PHP CGI crashing and I have no idea why. The script I'm running hasn't changed, nor has the server setup. It ran fine for several weeks and then started crashing. I rebooted the server and it was fine for a couple of days... now its crashing again.

The script is a daemon that listens on a port for incoming XML fragments (you can see pieces of this XML at the end of the backtrace) - so this could be Socket or XML related.
 
I was running PHP 4.2.1. I upgraded to 4.2.3 and its still doing it. I have also upgraded to the latest snapshot and ran this through PHP 4.3.0-cli - same result.

./configure --with-mysql --enable-debug --enable-shared=yes --without-apache --enable-ftp --with-mcrypt --with-curl --enable-sockets
 
Here is a backtrace, but its all greek to me. Can anyone explain what on earth all this means?

It looks that it's XML related and not sockets.

Did you try it with the latest snapshoot ?
http://snaps.php.net

[2002-11-12 10:36 UTC] mike dot hall at opencube dot co dot uk

Yes, I tried with php4-STABLE-200211121230 from snaps. Same result.

[2002-11-12 10:40 UTC] sniper@php.net

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

and NOT the 'STABLE' ones..

[2002-11-12 10:40 UTC] derick@php.net

Hello,

I think you're recursivley calling a function somewhere, would it be possible to tar the whole package up so that we can try to reproduce it?

Derick

[2002-11-12 11:06 UTC] mike dot hall at opencube dot co dot uk

I tried with http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz and the system is still seg faulting. The strange thing is - I ran exactly the same code for several weeks without trouble.

I can look at packaging up the code, but it is part of a very large application. I will try and put something together though. I don't think I am recursively calling any functions though!

Backtrace is a little different this time.

[2002-11-12 12:05 UTC] derick@php.net

it would be cool if you could try the following to see if you're calling recursive functions:

1. Download xdebug from 
http://xdebug.derickrethans.nl/link.php?url=xdebug100rc1-422-f46
2. enable it in your php.ini file:
zend_extension=/path/to/module/xdebug.so

and restart your webserver and try the script, or start your command line script. It should give you a warning if you're
trying to recursively call functions (with a full trace of all function calls).

regards,
Derick

I installed xdebug, then the software stopped crashing! I took xdebug off again and it still isn't crashing. Very odd.
