PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: Argument passed as reference to fopen() freezes execution
Description:
------------
If an input function argument is passed as a reference (as opposed to as a
value) and it is used as an argument to fopen(), parsing and/or execution
of the script freezes without ANY warning or error whatsoever.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// This does NOT work (although it shoud)
function log_an_event (&$logfile, &$event)
{
$f=fopen($logfile, 'a');
// ...
}
// This is a workaround for the above (first arg not passed as reference)
function log_an_event ($logfile, &$event)
{
$f=fopen($logfile, 'a');
// ...
}
Expected result:
----------------
Non-freezing execution.
Actual result:
--------------
Execution of the script freezes/exits without ANY warning or error
whatsoever.
