PHP :: Bug #37850 :: Reference counting bug in SoapClient::_

[2006-06-19 17:46 UTC] jeremiahh at allstardirectories dot com

Description:
------------
The undocumented method SoapClient::__setSoapHeaders() incorrectly handles reference counting when a single SoapHeader object is passed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function someMethod()
{
  $headers = new SoapHeader(...);
  $client = new SoapClient(...);
  $client->__setSoapHeaders($headers);

  $this->saved_client = $client;
}

function someOtherMethod()
{
  $client = $this->saved_client;
  $client->__soapCall(...);
}

Expected result:
----------------
For the code

$obj->someMethod();
$obj->someOtherMethod();

you would expect the call $client->__soapCall() to succeed with the appropriate soap headers.

Actual result:
--------------
It crashes.  If one does a print_r($this->saved_client) in both methods the problem is obvious.  The reference count for $headers is not incremented in __setSoapHeaders() and so when  someMethod() finished the object is destroyed while the SoapClient object is still referencing it.  Then in someOtherMethod() the SoapHeader object is no longer available.

It is important to note that this bug only seems to happen in the case where a single SoapHeader object is passed to __setSoapHeaders().  If you pass an array of SoapHeaders, such as array(soapHeaderObj) then the problem is non-existent.  When you pass it in an array the reference counting happens automatically by the array constructor.

Also, this problem does not exist in the SoapHeader()::__call method which correctly adds a reference when a single SoapHeader object is passed:

ZVAL_ADDREF(headers);

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc.

If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

I'm not sure what more you need to reproduce it.  The code I gave should be enough to reproduce the problem.  For obvious reasons I can not fill in the arguments to the methods since they are user specific.  What exactly are you looking for?

I am looking for a short but complete reproduce script, which I could copy/paste and reproduce the problem.

__setSoapHeaders does not have any documentation and does this work for PHP 5.0.4?
