Description:
------------
After an upgrade of MySQL from 3.23 to 4.0, I kept getting "mysql_connect not a valid function call". So I recompiled php.


Then I got a blank scrren on the browser. When run, "~php ./test.php" produces an error message (which can't be seen in the browser). The solution for me was to "export MALLOC_CHECK=0;" on the command line, so glibc stops going crazy then restart httpd. I set this env variable in my .bash_profile. It seems to work fine so far.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password');
if (!$link) {
   die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Connected successfully

Actual result:
--------------
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption

I had this problem on something similar, It had to do i believe something with Zend Optimizer, and an extension to Zend Optimizer (eAccelerator).  A Recompile of the same version of PHP without the Zend and the Extension allowed our affected pages to work.

I dont have the core dump files.  But this may help someone else get on the right track.

(PS.. Cpanel/WHM Box, Apache 1.3x, and PHP 4.4.1)

Oh my God, I have been chasing this same error for days!  I did almost the same thing, creating the test php page, etc. and MySQL/PHP kept popping errors in the error log about glibc detected.

I ssh'ed to the server, did "export MALLOC_CHECK_=0" and when I would run the php file from the command line, the error stopped.  However, I then restarted httpd and the problem in the browser was still there.  Is it not using the same environment variables that the ssh session is using or is it only apply to the root user and not apache?

I guess what I need to do is recompile PHP without the Zend optimizer.  Can someone please explain how I recompile PHP without the Zend optimizer?
