Re: [fw-general] apache bombs out on PDO::prepare()

[Gavin Vess]

Hi Brad,

I suggest writing an extremely short PHP script that uses PDO directly, 
and prepares and retrieves a row of data.
If the problem persists, then I would suspect something might be wrong 
with the installation of PHP or related libraries.

Also, I would suggest checking the list of recent and unsolved 
PDO-related bugs to see if any match your situation:
   
http://bugs.php.net/search.php?cmd=display&bug_type[]=PDO+related&status=All&search_for=&php_os=&boolean=1&author_email=&bug_age=0&by=&order_by=id&direction=ASC&phpver=&limit=30&assign=&reorder_by=id

I would also be tempted to try running your application on the ZF 
Community Development server to discover whether the problem exists 
under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 / PHP 5.1.6:

Cheers,
Gavin

Hi,

I am writing my first ZF based app and wanted to use the Zend_Db PDO 
classes. My problem is that apache is exiting with signal 11 when 
Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Abstract::prepare() tries to return the result of 
$this->_connection->prepare():

Dec 29 16:37:33 localhost kernel: pid 35047 (httpd), uid 65534: exited 
on signal 11

If I edit Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Abstract::prepare() (see below) so that 
it is not trying to return the return value of 
$this->_connection->prepare() apache is fine but this of course breaks 
the script.

public function prepare($sql)
{
    $this->_connect();
    $this->_connection->prepare($sql);
    return;
}

I tried assigning the return value of $this->_connection->prepare() to 
a variable before returning it but that also killed apache. Seems I 
can't try to assign the return value in any way.

Any ideas what the problem is??

I am running freeBSD 5.4-STABLE with apache2.2.3 and php5.2 and latest 
ZF from svn.

Cheers,

Brad
