Operating system: linux
PHP version: 4.3.0RC3
PHP Bug Type: Output Control
Bug description: notice leaks output when display_errors is off
If a script generates a php notice (which is logged, not displayed to the
screen) something gets output anyway; this output can prevent setting
cookies.
<?
if (!$undefinedVariable) {
if (setcookie ("code","123456")) {
print "Cookie set";
} else {
print "Could not set cookie";
}
}
?>
We get the following in the server log:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: undefinedVariable in
/home/www/dev/pLogin.php on line 2
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in
/home/www/dev/pLogin.php on line 3
However, if you add the line
$undefinedVariable = false;
so that the notice goes away, PHP will happily set the cookie.
display_errors = off, error_reporting = E_ALL, log_errors = On.
Note: This happens on 4.3.0RC2; unfortunately, I could not test on RC3.
