Subject: php4: corruption of $SCRIPT_NAME

Package: php4
Version: 4:4.1.2-4
Severity: normal
I've noticed a very odd corruption of the $SCRIPT_NAME variable in some
php4 scripts. For some reason, the variable's value would become
corrupted in such a way that when used in a script the period before the
final extension would change to some unrecognized character. Thus,
scripts would frequently break.
I originally reported the problem to the authors of the scripts I was
using at the time:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=694076&group_id=22724&atid=376336
Later, I decided to try other php4 package version on the chance it was
a version or packaging problem. The problem was reproducable 100% of
the time with the versions of php4 in stable and testing. The exact
package versions I tested were:
4:4.1.2-4 (latest testing)
4:4.1.2-6 (latest stable)
I then decided to push forward and try the latest version from unstable
(4:4.2.3-9) and it corrected the corruption.

This bug was tagged "woody" and is believed to have been corrected in our
new stable release "sarge", which was released[1] two days ago.
As a result of sarge's release, I am closing this woody bug, and I would
encourage you to upgrade to sarge as soon as is reasonably possible. While
you're at it, if you are currently using php4 with apache1.3, I would
suggest upgrading to apache2 (package: apache2-mpm-prefork) and the php4
build for apache2 (libapache2-mod-php4), as apache1.3 is now deprecated,
and the apache2/php4 combinations seems to exhibit fewer bugs and strange
behaviours overall than apache1.3/php4.
Thanks for using Debian,
... Adam Conrad
PS: If you want your upgrades to go as smoothly as possible, please remember
to read the release notes[2] and to use a packaging frontend like
aptitude or dselect, rather than a raw 'apt-get dist-upgrade', which will
often go rather badly on a complex setup.
