Description:
------------
Running Debian with kernel 3.14-1-amd64
Webserver: NginX 1.6.0
PHP: 5.6.0RC2 FPM
 
The getallheaders() method does not build a clean array.

When trying to access some values via $arr['key'] it doesn't work because there is a non printable character '0' that is added at the end of the key.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
        // Working example
        foreach($_SERVER as $key => $value) { 
                print('Key: '. $key . ' => ' . $value . "\n");
                $key_arr = str_split($key);
                foreach($key_arr as $char) {
                        print($char . ' => ' . ord($char) .' ');
                }
                print "\n";
        }

        // Buggy example using getallheaders
        $hdrs = getallheaders();
        foreach($hdrs as $key => $value) {
                print('Key: '. $key . ' => ' . $value . "\n");
                $key_arr = str_split($key);
                foreach($key_arr as $char) {
                        print($char . ' => ' . ord($char) .' ');
                }
                print "\n";
        }
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Key for header 'User-Agent' should be (in ASCII): 

85 115 101 114 45 65 103 101 110 116


Actual result:
--------------
Key for header 'User-Agent' is (in ASCII):

85 115 101 114 45 65 103 101 110 116 0

Do you observe trailing NULL chars for all keys?
 [2014-07-18 05:43 UTC] herve at moulticast dot net 
Yes I have these NULL trailing slashes for all keys, here is an example with Firefox sent headers. I can also confirm that this wasn't present in php5-fpm 5.6.0~rc1+dfsg-1, it occured when I updated to php5-fpm 5.6.0~rc2+dfsg-3

Key: Host
H => 72 o => 111 s => 115 t => 116  => 0

PHP array keys must be null terminated. It seems key length is too long by 1.

getallheaders is not implemented in vanilla PHP 5.6, see https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_main.c

Debian is applying some patches, which they want to be merged into mainline PHP: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/721/files

Think this issue should be reported by Debian and/or fix and merge the PR.

We are awaiting feedback on https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/910 which implements getallheaders in FPM, and may be targeting 7.
