If I did know how to intentionally perform a segmentation fault, wouldn't that be enough to generate a 500 error in a single php file without needing to be in an extension? -- Shiplu Mokadd.im Follow me, http://twitter.com/shiplu Innovation distinguishes between follower and leader Thank you. -- Ghodmode http://www.ghodmode.com/blog
Re: [PHP] Intentionally generate an Internal Server Error
You can search for a buggy extension that has known issue of segmentation faults. -- Shiplu Mokadd.im Follow me, http://twitter.com/shiplu Innovation distinguishes between follower and leader
Re: [PHP] Intentionally generate an Internal Server Error
By the way, You can also try sending proper html page and http header that will copy the Internal Server Error. That is completely possible in php. Just use the header() function. -- Shiplu Mokadd.im My talks, http://talk.cmyweb.net Follow me, http://twitter.com/shiplu Innovation distinguishes between follower and leader

That is completely possible in php. Just use the header() function. Actually, I learned from reading a previous message on this list (Subject: php causes HTTP 500, but results in blank page in apache), that using header() would require me to provide the content of the error page. That probably should still put a message in the error log, but it wouldn't be enough to convince the stupid tech support people at GoDaddy that it was an error. I want them to see their own error page and then fix the problem with the logging. -- Shiplu Mokadd.im My talks, http://talk.cmyweb.net Follow me, http://twitter.com/shiplu Innovation distinguishes between follower and leader -- Ghodmode http://www.ghodmode.com/blog
