Description:
------------
After upgrading to php5.4 on my Debian (configured to "testing" sources for apt)
none of my local website works.
After upgrade I used option "maintainer's version of php.ini" for all php.ini files (apache, fpm, cli).
Version of Apache: 2.2.22
Here what I see in one of my error log files (Apaches's):
[Sun Mar 25 13:32:54 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function (null)() in /home/web/ccc/frontend/index.php on line 4
Actually, this is regular Yii fremework's frontpage. Nothing was changed and worked perfect before upgrade.

Test script:
---------------
     1<?php
       2                                                                                                                                                                            
     3  // change the following paths if necessary                                                                                                                                
     4  $yii=dirname(__FILE__).'/../framework/yii.php';                                                                                                                           
     5  $config=dirname(__FILE__).'/protected/config/main.php';
     6
     7  // remove the following lines when in production mode
     8  defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG',true);
     9  // specify how many levels of call stack should be shown in each log message
    10  defined('YII_TRACE_LEVEL') or define('YII_TRACE_LEVEL',3);
    11
    12  require_once($yii);
    13  Yii::createWebApplication($config)->run();

Expected result:
----------------
dirname() must be called without error producing and should return full path to the current file.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function (null)() in /home/web/ccc/frontend/index.php on line 4

Looks like there is something else at play here that you haven't told us about. 
dirname() obviously works fine in 5.4. Try it from the command line:

php -r 'echo dirname(__FILE__);'

Of course, you should just use __DIR__ to do that, but my guess is that you have 
some other low-level extension like an apc ot xcache that you haven't upgraded to 
work with 5.4 that is causing this weird symbol table corruption.

Yes, sorry for bad bug reporting.
I found that the issue caused by this:

rodush@rdushko:/var/www$ php test.php 
Failed loading /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so:  /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/suhosin.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/suhosin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/xhprof.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/xhprof.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

When I removed old extension's ini configs (just renamed files) all worked fine, both cli and web based scripts.
Sorry again :)
