ID: 61148 User updated by: khaos337 at gmail dot com Reported by: khaos337 at gmail dot com Summary: auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file seemingly load on favicon request Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: FreeBSD7.3 (amd64) PHP Version: 5.3.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I was able to confirm the issue occurs across all browsers including firefox Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-20 19:55:19] khaos337 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Pages that are loaded with auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file load multiple times per page request if there is no favicon.ico located in the root directory. I believe this only happens with chrome and IE, have not been able to replicate the issue with firefox. You will see using this configuration, if you load index.php your database will get at least 2 entries, one for '/index.php', and one for and one for '/favicon.ico/' This might just be a matter of appending the documentation if this is deemed "not a bug" because according the php.net manual auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file should function exactly as the require() function. However if this code was put in index.php as "require('prepend.php')" instead of being autoloaded it would always only load once. Test script: --------------- .htaccess: php_value auto_prepend_file /path_to_file/prepend.php prepend.php: <?php $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'pass', 'database'); $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO uri_test (uri, time) VALUES ('$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]',now())"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- expected result is that the prepend.php file only runs once per page load. Actual result: -------------- prepend.php loads when the browser is seemingly requesting the URI for the favicon.ico ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61148&edit=1
