 Description:
------------
Hello,
Server:
Windows Server 2012
IIS 8.0
PHP 5.6.5
MySQL 5.6.21
WinCache 1.3.x
hMailserver 5.6
I send a newsletter every week to thousands of users with the mail() function. The PHP script runs in CLI mode. It runs about 8 hours long. Timeouts and other settings have been customized for this.
All runs well, every body receives the mail. But I observe one error every week in the Windows Event Viewer saying php-cgi.exe has crashed at the end of the newsletter sending.
The PHP log file shows a PHP Warning related to the mail() function which returns a 550 Unknown user error.
In the SMTP server logs, in effect, I see that one of the last user which receives a mail at this hour (07:51:43) doesn't exists more. But, there are many other 550 errors during the sending and I don't see why this specific 550 error could be the cause.
In fact, I think that mail is absolutely not related to this bug. At the end of the script I call the mysqli_close() function to close the MySQL connexion opened 8 hours earlier but the MySQL server has probably killed it for a very long time !!!!!! :)
It is a bad conception of this code. I will modify it today to close the connexion before the mail sending where MySQL is no more used. But I just would like to notify you about this abnormal PHP error.
I have a dump file for the php-cgi.exe crash. I have shown it to an MS expert which says me :
"It appears to be a bug in the zend core, when printing debug messages on shutdown.  I haven't got the exact mechanics of the bug, but what appears to have happened is that php_mysqli ran into an error while trying to shutdown.
The process was in the middle of mysqli_close(), when it hit an error during a send on a socket.  Looks like the php_mysqlnd (internal PHP extension) tries to send a command when shutting down.  The extension failed to send, because the socket to the SQL server went away.  All of this is fine and normal.  However, the printing of the error message failed, due to some problem with memory allocation.  Seems weird, and not something that should happen every time.
It's an unfortunate side effect of a network failure during mysqli_close()."
Test script:
---------------
1) MySQL selection of the recipients
2) In a loop (about 8 hours long):
mail("user@domain.com","Subjet","Text","From: mail@domain.com\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");
3) mysqli_close()   <<<<------ I will now move it between phases 1) and 2)
Expected result:
----------------
No errors in log files.
Actual result:
--------------
