ID: 62444 Comment by: vseticka dot martin at gmail dot com Reported by: sergio dot nalin at gmail dot com Summary: Handle leak in is_readable Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Win 7 64bit PHP Version: 5.3.14 Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Is there any progress? This issue makes PHP really hard to use on Windows. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-26 17:24:41] mr_pain at operamail dot com Memory leak confirmed for the following configurations: PHP vc9 5.3.15, thread safe version + Apache Httpd 2.4.2 + Win XP SP3 PHP vc9 5.4.5, thread safe version + Apache Httpd 2.4.2 + Win XP SP3 Running Test script: -------------------- for($i=0; $i<100;$i++) { is_readable("c:\\temp"); } PHP vc9 5.4.5 tested on WAMP stacks: ------------------------------------ XAMPP USB Lite 1.8.0 (Windows XP SP3) Uniform Server 8.5.8-Coral (Windows XP SP3) For details see: http://forum.uniformserver.com/index.php?showtopic=2627&hl= Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (both is 64-bit OS) I agree with above comment, it makes running PHP on a Windows production server impractical. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-25 22:26:05] smiles_indonesia at yahoo dot co dot id It seems happened since introduction of php 5.3.0. If you see in the changelogs: http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php Added support for ACL (is_writable, is_readable, reports now correct results) on Windows. (Pierre, Venkat Raman Don, Kanwaljeet Singla) This issue is very critical, because it makes php running on windows production server impractical / unusable... My quad xeon box becomes very slow after some days, the ram usage is mysteriously increased (httpd process usage still remains the same, I thought handle consumes kernel spaces)... If your webserver servers 1 million request, then there will be about 1 million handle opened... Usual application only consumes 20 to 2000 handles... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-29 00:10:17] sergio dot nalin at gmail dot com Description: ------------ PHP vc9 5.3.14, thread safe version + Apache Httpd 2.2.22 + Win 7/Win Server 2008 R2 Each time is_readable in invoked, it leaves an open handle in the httpd process. Test script: --------------- for($i=0; $i<100;$i++) { is_readable("c:\\temp"); } NOTE: the folder/file must exist for the leak to happen. Expected result: ---------------- No leaked handles Actual result: -------------- 100 leaked handles ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62444&edit=1
