 [2004-09-16 13:39 UTC] jw at jwscripts dot com 
Description:
------------
When the __toString() method is called from a returned object to return an undefined property, Apache 2.0.48 crashes.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

class Foo {
	public function doSomething() {
		return new Foo;
	}

	public function __toString () {
		return $this->undefined;
	}
}

$foo = new Foo;
print $foo->doSomething();

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Notice:  Undefined property:  Foo::$undefined
Fatal error:  Method Foo::__toString() must return a string value

Actual result:
--------------
Apache Crash:
=============
szAppName : Apache.exe  szAppVer : 2.0.48.0     
szModName : php5ts.dll     
szModVer  : 5.0.1.1     offset   : 0004dd7f

I can confirm this on Win XP sp1 using Apache 1.3.31 and php 5.0.2

szAppName : Apache.exe     szAppVer : 0.0.0.0     szModName : php5ts.dll     
szModVer : 5.0.2.2     offset : 0004e27f

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

Now prints out:

Fatal error: Method Foo::__toString() must return a string value in /usr/home/thekid/test.php on line 14
