Description:
------------
I am installing phpBB3.0B5 and have tried using MySQL as well as MSSQL as their database servers.

When using MySQL as the database, phpBB will not allow user access in IE but will when using Firefox. IE and Firefox work fine when using MSSql as the database.

In either database scenario the following error appears at the foot of each phpBB page:

Error in my_thread_global_end(): 5 threads didn't exit 

phpBB support do not think it's a bug in their software.




Reproduce code:
---------------
http://forums.aquarius.com.au will display the error message.

There is no such function nor error message in PHP.

Thanks for that - much appreciated.

The problem is caused by MySQL and has been confirmed (Bug# 25621). It will apparently be fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, if you are using PHP and do not use MySQL then you can disable MySQL by commenting out the reference at the end of php.ini eg:

[PHP_MYSQL]
;extension=php_mysql.dll

This is becoming a big issue over at MySQL Headquarters :-) Quite a number of programs utilising PHP and NOT commenting out the MySQL library are falling over. NOTE: You don't actually have to use MySQL - just having it enabled in PHP causes the problem as well.

Strictly speaking, this is not MySQL bug. This is a client bug - a
client application (PHP, probably) linked with libmysqlclient calls
my_thread_init() but does not call my_thread_end() as appropriate
(doesn't call at all or calls too late). MySQL client library detects
this and issues a warning.

On the other hand, we can just remove the check and let buggy
applications to fail some other way. Not calling my_thread_end() is a
guaranteed memory leak. Calling it too late could easily crash the
application.

We don't call my_thread_init, or anything starting with my_thread:

derick@kossu:~/dev/php/php-5.2dev$ grep -r my_thread *
derick@kossu:~/dev/php/php-5.2dev$

The following comments have been made in the MySQL Bug reports for this bug:

I have upgraded to PHP 5.2.2.
I cfm that using libmysql.dll from 5.2.1, instead of 5.2.2 solved the
pbm.

[13 May 23:20] Nathan (York Networks)

I started seeing this bug after upgrading from PHP 5.1.x to 5.2.2.
Interestingly, copying the libmysql.dll from the 5.1.x version in to
the 5.2.2 release appears to have resolved the issue at list until the underlying problem is addressed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I have also changed the file and both phpBB3 and WordPress are now seemingly working fine.
