Submitted: 2008-07-02 16:14 UTC Modified: 2008-07-24 01:00 UTC

PHP Version: 5.2.6 OS: Debian sarge
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
When the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option is set curl_exec returns the correct output when called from the command line, but FALSE when called through apache.

Configuration:
curl version: 7.18.2, apache 2.0.54

'./configure'  '--prefix=/usr/local' '--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/php5/apache2' '--disable-debug' '--with-regex=php' '--disable-rpath' '--disable-static' '--with-pic' '--with-layout=GNU' '--with-pear=/usr/share/php' '--enable-calendar' --enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2' '--enable-ctype' '--with-db4' '--with-iconv' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gettext' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr/local' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-xml' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-zlib' '--without-pgsql' '--with-kerberos=/usr' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--enable-zip' '--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php5/libexec' '--without-mm' '--with-mysql' '--without-sybase-ct' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-curl=/usr/local'


Reproduce code:
---------------
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://some.url");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$converted = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($converted);

Expected result:
----------------
curl_exec returning the same output when the code runs either from the console or apache.

Actual result:
--------------
the expected output when the code runs from the command line, FALSE when run from within apache.

The error code returned is 28 (connection time-out), and curl_getinfo returns a negative value for CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME.

No errors are logged in apache or system logs.

Did you compile everything yourself? Including Apache?
This is very unlikely to be any bug, just some misconfiguration.
Try recompiling PHP without any extra stuff. Just using --with-apxs2 and --with-curl options.
