Description:
------------
DirectoryIterator class is segfaulting after a Notice :

Notice - Object of class DirectoryIterator could not be converted to int ( registered in apache error_log before segfault)


Reproduce code:
---------------
$dirs =  new DirectoryIterator( 'dir' );

foreach(  $dirs as $entry ) {

 if($dirs->isDir($entry) && !$dirs->isDot($entry)){

                        $list[] = $entry;
                    }

                }

Expected result:
----------------
code executed correctly.

Actual result:
--------------
notice] child pid 16011 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

can't get a backtrace :-(

if useful.. it is crashing with something like this..

$dirs =  new DirectoryIterator( $this->dirname );...

of course $this->dirname contains a **valid** directory path.

$dirs =  new DirectoryIterator( $this->dirname() );

I mean... :-(

Several things:
- storing the output of an iterator in an array is most likely wrong. Instead use a FilterIterator to wrap the input iterator (DirectoryIterator in your case) and work on its result.

- $dirs = new DirectoryIterator($dirs->dirname()); pretty much sounds like an endless loop. *Which does crash*. Try using xdebug to detect such loops or simply place a var_dump() showing what you are creating the iterator on.

- It seems you are trying some kind of recursion. Use RecursiveIteratorIterator with RecursiveDirectoryIterator for that.

- To be able to give you a real answer i would need real code that crashes - short reproducing script.

until I come with a test case I got this with valgrind..

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The backtrace suggest that as helly suggested you are triggering an unterminated loop resulting a crash. As such this is the expected behaviour.

Ilia : I found you are right ,  sorry. and thanks for the fast response.
