[PHP-DOC] #19669 [NEW]: Incomplete documentation for dba_replace
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: linux PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Incomplete documentation for dba_replace I think it might be worth mentioning in the documentation for the dba_replace function that to actually replace an entry in a *DBM-type database, you need to pad the value to the exact lenght of the value to be replaced. This seems to go for both entries shorter and longer than the replacing value. I also added a comment to the documention to this extent but this is, in my opinion, cardinal to the differance between dba_replace and dba_insert so it might be worth mentioning. Also, data corruption and infinite growth of the data file will result if the length is not padded. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19669edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=fixedcvs Fixed in release:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=submittedtwice register_globals:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669r=globals -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's why I had to ask around. From the part you quoted all that is assured is that the behaviour is just as if an include() had been called. But reading the docs for include() also doesn't mention if any caching is done. I couldn't find anywhere in the docs that said clearly and definitively No optimization/caching is done or the inverse. I just needed a yes/no answer and I couldn't find it in the docs. I'm not saying it isn't in there somewhere but I really couldn't find it.

[PHP-DOC] #17122 [Com]: Values set in _SESSION doesn't stick
ID: 17122
Comment by: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Verified
Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: Linux RH 7.2
PHP Version: 4.2.0
New Comment:
I've been having a similar problem for over a week. Tried everything I
could think of. Script looked like this:
?
GLOBAL $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
session_start();
$AVAR += 1;
session_register('AVAR');
print pvariable={$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['AVAR']}/p;
?
Seemed everyone else could get it to work except for a friend and I.
I'm using IE 6.0.28, he's using Netscape 4.04.
I was able to correct the problem by doing the following while running
IE6.0.28:
a) Select Tools/Internet Options
b) Select Privacy Tab
c) Click on Advanced button
d) Check Override Automatic Cookie Handling
e) Check Always allow session cookies
After doing this - everything worked fine - even the test scripts above
(except for the variable 4).
I then went back and unchecked the Override Automatic Cookie Handling -
assuming that this would return me back to a state where AVAR would not
increment. Much to my chagrin, it continued to work. This leads me to
believe that there's a registry setting somewhere that controls this
behavior. Now, to find out what it is and how to check for it on a
user's machine from within PHP.

This test case I posted is with register_global turned off. Well, the
documentation should stated that the number can not be used as the
first character. I wonder how can anyone tell the difference on
$_SESSION from an array? It look a lot like an array in some way.
[2002-07-05 15:50:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As session variables are subject to be registered as global variables
(if register_globals is on), and identifier names (including variable
names) cannot begin with a numeric character, it's not too hard to see
that session variables should not begin with a number. Basically
session variables
should follow naming ruiles for identifiers IMHO.
[2002-07-05 15:46:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Whoop! One more thing! $_SESSION[CUSTOMER_ID] does work on page 1
also! Didn't include that as Example #3 on page 1.
[2002-07-05 15:43:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I struggled with the $_SESSION problem for almost a week. When I read
this report, that is when reality hit me. In the comment written by
[EMAIL PROTECTED] saying that I'm not suppose to use the numberic value.
I'm using PHP 4.2.1 and AIX 4.3.3. Here's the example that work which
should not have work at all. See the //This one work!! (Numberic
Value).
Why do I have to spend almost a week struggling over it? I read many
documentation about $_SESSION vs. session_register() with the
register_global turned off, but they say nothing about the numeric
value that aren't allowed to be used?
Thanks,
FletchSOD

You're not supposed to do that. But it should indeed be documented.

[2002-04-23 07:46:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reclassified. [2002-04-23 05:51:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was using chora 1.0 and cvs versions (2.0) and had this bizarre mem leak under either php4.2.0rc4 or php4.2.0 final. It would show up in the apache logs as Last leak repeated 2 times ./zend_execute.c(1999) : Freeing 0x0825CE0C (12 bytes), script=/www/sj/horde/chora/cvs.php Last leak repeated 2 times zend_operators.c(1047) : Freeing 0x081EFCBC (31 bytes), script=/www/sj/horde/chora/cvs.php Last leak repeated 1 time zend_API.c(596) : Freeing 0x081EF56C (44 bytes), script=/www/sj/horde/chora/cvs.php zend_API.c(584) : Actual location (location was relayed) zend_compile.c(1647) : Freeing 0x0817CB6C (12 bytes), script=/www/sj/horde/chora/cvs.php etc, etc. I tried numerous compilations, etc. but in the end it turned out to be the fact that in my php.ini, I have output_handler = ob_gzhandler and chora would try to use the PEAR class to compress it again. I was able to turn that feature off within chora, but it was a bitch to track down, and odd how it would only show up in 4.2.0, but not in 4.1.2 even with the same ./configure setup. It was suggested by a few that I report my findings, so I hope this helps. Perhaps the PEAR class could autodetect if gzip is already in use? Keep up the great work as always! PS.
