PHP :: Bug #30957 :: filesystem functions bugs in destructor (under gc condition)

[2004-12-02 11:01 UTC] rueycheng at gmail dot com

Description:
------------
Some filesystem functions, like file_put_contents() or fwrite(), don't work properly in the destructor __destruct().  The following scenario may looks a bit weird: it appeared that the file is not overwritten or even created, but PHP does 'read' the content of the imaginary file!

If you uncomment the last line of the code, everything would works fine.

Thanks.

$ diff php.ini php.ini-dist
288c288
< error_reporting  =  E_ALL
---
> error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT

< include_path = ".;c:\php-5.0.1\PEAR"
---
> ;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

< extension_dir = "c:\php-5.0.1\ext"
---
> extension_dir = "./"

> ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
> ;extension=php_mhash.dll

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class Bug
{
	private $filename;
	
	public function __construct($filename) {
		$this->filename = $filename;
	}
	
	public function __destruct() {
		echo "[";
		file_put_contents($this->filename, 'Gotcha!');
		echo file_get_contents($this->filename);
		echo "]";
	}
}

$bug = new Bug('.bugtest');
//unset($bug);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
[Gotcha!]

(And the file .bugtest under working directory should be created.)

$ cat .bugtest
Gotcha!

Actual result:
--------------
[Gotcha!]

$ cat .bugtest
cat: .bugtest: No such file or directory

The garbage collector may clean up the object prior to its __destruct() invocation.  Nothing would go wrong if you explicitly *destroy* the object.

By the way, I tested the code on Redhat 7.3 with the following configuration.  

$ cat config.nice
#! /bin/sh
#
# Created by configure

'./configure' \
'--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' \
'--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/' \
'--with-libxml-dir' \
'--enable-dba' \
'--enable-mbstring' \
"$@"

$ diff php.ini ../src/php-5.0.1/php.ini-recommended
353c353
< display_errors = On
---
> display_errors = Off
407c407
< ;error_log = /var/log/php.log
---
> ;error_log = filename
491c491
< include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
---
> ;include_path = ".:/php/includes"


As a result, two warnings are generated.

[
Warning: file_put_contents(./.bugtest) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/httpd/html/testbed/bugtest.php on line 12

Warning: file_get_contents(./.bugtest) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/html/testbed/bugtest.php on line 13
]

Actually I've already enabled the write-permission for the directory.  The execution of these filesystem functions outside of __destruct() is OK.

I also encountered this bug, it is very annoying - a class of mine checks a file with a simple file_exists(), and the file isn't found - the whole script works if I call the destructor at the very end of it explicitly (which isn't really the point of having a destructor). it seems no file functions work at all in the destructor. This bug also applies to register_shutdown_function, it just seems that as soon as the "regular" scripts stops, everything that comes after that has problems with the file system.
