Bug description: Execute Bit and XBitHack seems to breaks PHP
Dear PHP-Developers!
I got a very, very strange problem with PHP 4.3.0, Apache 2.0.44 (see
typscript #3 below) and XBitHack on.
If I set the eXecute flag on PHP-parsed files (for example file with
ending .php) PHP don't work correctly any more:
Simple PHP scripts work perfectly (see typescript #2 below) but more
complex don't work (the PHP code don't get parsed, see typescript #1
below).
In the httpd.conf I set the XBitHack to on. If I turn it off anything
works fine. Or if I remove the x bit from the files it works fine too.
So I'm not really sure whether this is an Apache problem or a PHP
problem.
Hoping it's a real bug and not just a problem with my installation.
Greetings and many thanks in advance,
Kai Seidler
