Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is a known recursion limit. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-04 20:06:37] thuejk at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When running a recursive loop with lots of iterations, PHP will segfault. This will usually be a problem when you write buggy code by accident, but I guess it is possible to imagine sane programs which uses lots of recursive calls. In any case, it is somewhat hard to debug the crash when it happens, because you do not get an error message when running it in a browser. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $i=0; function f() { global $i; printf("%d\n", $i++); f(); } f(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- (Ignoring the fact that the posted function is tail recursive, and therefore could be rewritten as a non-recursive loop) PHP should emit an E_ERROR before it runs out of space. Preferably also an E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR or E_WARNING a little before it really runs out of space. Actual result: -------------- $ php test.php 1 2 3 [...] 29066 29067 zsh: segmentation fault php test.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43187&edit=1
