My whole site was crashed after updating PHP and CSS scripts. And server
replies by saying "Zero Sized Reply". Please let me know how to debug
this problem. Can third party javascripts bring your script to a crash?

Right, but that would possibly break it for others of course...

Hi,



Well, changing the above lines in the configure script to:



if test "$cross_compiling" = yes; then

  ac_cv_c_bigendian_php=yes



fixed the bug for us. 



Thanks,



Nir.

We don't support cross compilation. Feel free to come up with a patch
yourself though.

Hi,



I think I found the problem. in one of the date extention files:
parse_tz.c , there is a conversion macro called: timelib_conv_int() that
has two modes - depends if WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined or not.

I located the test that defines it in the php configure file, and it
looks like this:



  echo $ac_n "checking whether byte ordering is bigendian""... $ac_c"
1>&6

echo "configure:43563: checking whether byte ordering is bigendian" >&5

if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_c_bigendian_php'+set}'`\" = set";
then

  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6

else



  ac_cv_c_bigendian_php=unknown

  if test "$cross_compiling" = yes; then

  ac_cv_c_bigendian_php=unknown

else

  cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF



So, what happens is - i cross compile, and then the bigendian becomes
uknown => the WORDS_BIGENDIAN is not defined => the timezone database is
read in the wrong way => malloc tries to use that information to
allocate memory and fails.



Can you explain why it is that way?

No, I don't think it matters.
