 Bug Type:         Apache related
 Operating System: Win XP Prof
 PHP Version:      4.1.1
 New Comment:

Same problems as everyone else has, I didn't realize it wasn't me until
I saw this post. I have:

OS: Windows XP Professional (Build: 2600)
PHP: 4.2.0RC1
Apache: 1.3.23
PHP Installed as module

First time I noticed this was with phpinfo() flashing like 10 times and
then displaying the phpinfo page, or sometimes after the flashing would
display dns error page.  It's not something that happens every time,
and some days are also better than others and I don't expierience any
problems related to this.  In fact when I'm using 'localhost' this
doesn't happen to me.  And in fact when I surf the pages myself,
phpinfo loads just fine.  But as soon as someone else tries to run my
scripts it starts tweaking out on them.  Every time they try they say
phpinfo page will load anywhere from %15 to like %90 and then it will
just cut off or turn into "compiled code" as they put it, or
simply...garbage.  The point at which it starts to garble or cut off is
random and unpredictable.

As soon as anyone gets a fix for this it would be great if they would
let everyone know! :) It's annoying not being able to share my code
I've worked so hard on with other people...

I get a similar difficulty, but with ANY scripts no matter how small or
large.  90% of the time it works perfectly, then all of a sudden PHP
decides to spew a parse error or some other random phenomenon - even a
single one line script will eventually suffer this fault.

I experienced this when I moved to PHP 4.1.x, so reverted back to 4.0.6
which does not have the problem.  Unfortunately 4.1.2 is a security fix
so obviously have to upgrade, and now having to live with this
problem.

Not sure if its related, but 4.1.x also causes Apache's memory use to
grow and grow and GROW until eventually a malloc fault occurrs. 
Sometimes Apache will restart, sometimes just crash.  Again 4.0.6 has
no such problem, 
just 4.1.x - had no choice but to configure Apache to self-restart
every few hundred hits to overcome this memory leak.

This is all with PHP as a Apache module.

I too am having the same problem.  WinXP, Apache/1.3.22 (Win32),
PHP/4.1.3-dev, mod_perl/1.26.  PHP installed as a module.  I haven't
tried using it in CGI mode.  It's not just phpinfo().  It happens
regularly.  Try going to:

http://singularity.homedns.org/calendar/index.php

Hit reload a few times, move to another month, etc.  Eventually it will
hose up.  Spews garbage characters in the middle of the page.  I
understand going back to 4.0.6 seems to fix it, but I'd rather not. 
Any help would be......well........helpful.

Another instance:

I have a page that only contains <? phpinfo(); ?> and nothing else.

PHP ver:  4.1.2
Machine:  WinXP Pro
HTTPD:    Apache, PHP as a module

When I browse to the page on my local machine (localhost) I get strange
behaviour.  I get a large number of instant redirects - in other words,
the browser sits there redirecting itself to the same page for about 10
seconds (maybe 50 redirects in all).  Finally the page either displays
properly, or I get a DNS server not found error page in my browser.

It's only started doing this since I upgraded from 4.0.6 to 4.1.2.  I
have just installed 4.2.0 RC1, but it makes no difference.  If I go
back to 4.0.6, it's fine.

You can try this yourself.  Go to:
 
    http://mvirtue.myip.org/test/index.php

and see what you get.  I got a friend of mine to try it from his
machine, and he briefly saw the first few lines of the PHP info screen,
and then was instantly redirected to a DNS error page.

Often the page displays perfectly the first time you go there.  It's
only when you hit "Refresh" do you get the bizarre behaviour.

How I can get the new version?
I tried to found by http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/php4/win32 but I
couldn't find the binary-Version for win32!

Can you send me the new version or say me where I can find it?

I don't beleve, that the but is fix, why the problem was not only with
the verion 4.1.1, it was with 4.0.6 too!

This problem occurs only on WIN XP (Pro?) as an OS.
