Description:
------------
When I to run the following script against the network associates site (it's part of a bigger system to pull down virus updates) then it fails, it works fine on other sites (this code snippet came from another PHP bug entry).

I also tried ftp'ing to the NAI site to prove that I really could do this and it works fine.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
  $fp = ftp_connect("ftp.nai.com");
  var_dump($fp);
  ftp_login($fp, "anonymous","ntrujillo@cox.net");
  var_dump($fp);
  var_dump(ftp_nlist($fp,"/"));
  var_dump($fp);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Would expect it to finish normally and dump the various arrays.

Actual result:
--------------
Core dump

I can't reproduce a crash with the code snippet provided using 4.3.3 on a 2.4.21 kernel.

Please provide the ./configure line used to compile PHP and note on which line (I'm assuming the nlist line itself) the crash occurs.

Looks like it's dying after the dump:
[root@Linux3 /root]# php test.php
resource(4) of type (FTP Buffer)
resource(4) of type (FTP Buffer)
bool(false)
resource(4) of type (FTP Buffer)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@Linux3 /root]# cat test.php 
<?php
  $fp = ftp_connect("ftp.nai.com");
  var_dump($fp);
  ftp_login($fp, "anonymous","ntrujillo@cox.net");
  var_dump($fp);
  var_dump(ftp_nlist($fp,"/"));
  var_dump($fp);
?>

Here's the ./configure:

Just realised, one thing I haven't mentioned (!) is that I'm running this as a command line script (php test.php).

Here's the backtrace (looks like it's when it's trying to deallocate stuff)

Try the following:

# rm config.cache
# ./configure --disable-all --disable-cgi --enable-ftp --enable-debug
# make clean && make

And then run the script:

# gdb sapi/cli/php
(gdb) run ftptest.php
.
.

Ok, it failed as before, here's the output:

(gdb) run test.php

Sorry, still fails, same as before:
[root@Linux3 php4-STABLE-200309081530]# ./sapi/cli/php ~/test.php 
resource(4) of type (FTP Buffer)
resource(4) of type (FTP Buffer)

[root@Linux3 php4-STABLE-200309081530]#

Do this:

# rm config.cache
# ./configure --disable-all --disable-cgi --enable-ftp --enable-debug
# make clean && make

And try that script again. (with the snapshot)
If it crashes, provide a backtrace.

If the rebuild fails, try adding this line to the end of your script.  

  var_dump(ftp_close($fp));

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

A developer was able to reproduce this finally and came up with a patch.  The next snapshot should work fine (give it time to be generated).  If not, please reopen.

 [2003-09-10 07:13 UTC] steveh at brendata dot co dot uk
Confirmed, that has fixed it.

Thanks.
