PHP Bug Type: Arrays related
Bug description: Page stops loading when processing arrays in foreach cycles inside
functions
First of all, I'm running PHP 4.1.2 as a script with Apache 1.3 on Windows
XP Pro. I'm only using gd2 and gettext as modules.
To illustrate what is happening to me right now, suppose I got an array
$authors from a database, each containing another array with two key-value
pairs (aid, author.)
Now, in order to print it out, I use:
function listArticleAuthors() {
global $authors;
if ($authors)
foreach($authors as $a)
echo "<li><a href='author.php?id=" .
$a[aid] . "'>" . $a[name] . "</a></li>";
return;
}
I have three or four other functions somewhat similar to this one, which
iterate through other arrays. The arrays are all very small (no more than
half a dozen elements each.)
Now, there's no problem when I run the code below *outside* the function.
There is also no problem when I'm calling only a couple of these
functions.
But when I call all the functions, or the same function more than once,
the PHP process inexplicably goes zombie and the page stops loading. It's
only when I kill the process using Task Manager that the page resumes
loading as normal. There's no lost output, there is no system slowdown.
I don't think I'm pushing it too hard: the PHP process just stays running
using very little resources (0% processor, 2 or 3 megs.) Any idea about
what could be happening?
Cheers and thanks!
L.
