ID: 22416 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: jhalla at legion dot org Status: Bogus Bug Type: iPlanet related Operating System: Solaris 8 PHP Version: 4.3.0 Assigned To: wez New Comment:
Use the newest version of PHP (4.3.3 or greater). There this limit is removed. Your comment to 64bit is not acceptable for iPlanet users because iPlanet is a 32 bit webserver which cannot run modules compiled in 64 bit. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-11 11:55:02] jmorris at sunflower dot com While the 32-bit libc stdio is limited to 256, the 64-bit libc stdio is not. Try compiling in 64-bit mode (gcc -m64). Test programs indicate that the limit is removed in 64-bit programs, I have not yet built apache and php in 64-bit mode. http://access1.sun.com/technotes/01406.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-09 17:28:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let me reiterate the cause of the problem: **Solaris libc stdio is broken** This is not really a bug in PHP. The only workaround for PHP < 5 is to link against an alternative stdio library, such as the AT&T sfio, although some people are reporting problems compiling that on their Solaris systems. PHP 5 will (and does) avoid stdio like the plague, so it does not fall victim to this Solaris deficiency. The changes required to make PHP 4.3.x do the same are too big to introduce into the stable branch (they require some potentially unstable changes to the Zend Engine). This report is marked as bogus as it is a duplicate of another report that we found more useful for bug-fixing purposes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-09 16:51:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the existing bug instead. Thank you for your interest in PHP. , ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-09 15:11:36] jhalla at legion dot org <i>"No feedback was provided.

PHP 4.3x still does not run on iPlanet/Solaris. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-09 15:09:58] fillmore at nrcan dot gcc dot a We have been having these problems also. I just installed php-4.3.2RC1.tar.gz to see if it helps, and the site started failing again within a half hour. I doubt that it's an open file limit in libc, because the site had only 14 hits on .php URLs before it started failing. Also, only two scripts were called, and they don't open any files. Here's the code in the most complicated of the two scripts: <? $x = 0; while (list($key, $val) = each($ORFiles)) { $x++; echo '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <A HREF="../../html/tables/pdf/options/'.substr($val, 0, strpos($val, "*")).'">' .substr($val,strrpos($val,"*")+1).'</A></font> <img SRC="../../gif/pdf.gif" WIDTH="17" HEIGHT="17" ALT="pdf"><BR>'; } ?> - Bob Fillmore ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
