If you use a character pointer in zend_parse_parameters function, you will meet segfault.

---
char *text;
int   text_len;

if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(),"rlls",&handle,&y,&x,&text,&text_len) == FAILURE) {
    return;
}

FETCH_WINRES(w,handle);
RETURN_LONG(mvwaddstr(*w,y,x,text));

This issue seems to PHP bug. To correct this problem, you must modify the code as follows.

---
zend_string *text;

if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(),"rllS",&handle,&y,&x,&text) == FAILURE) {
    return;
}

FETCH_WINRES(w,handle);
RETURN_LONG(mvwaddstr(*w,y,x,ZSTR_VAL(text)));
---


So, I report new patch "ncurses-php7-support-again.patch"

I'm gonna suspend this report as the ncurses extension seems to no longer be actively maintained, any future maintainer should re-open this report

Patches submitted for this ticket will continue to be maintained at https://github.com/OOPS-ORG-PHP/ncurses. And support PHP 7.3 now.
