ID: 50921 Comment by: matteosistisette at gmail dot com Reported by: phpbug at starurl dot com Summary: '200 OK' HTTP status despite PHP error Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: HTTP related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.12 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The status is wrong. And oh my god, since 2010!! This IS a bug. Display_errors off means don't DISPLAY errors, it shouldn't have any effect on the response code. Default response for fatal errors should be 500 whether or not display_errors is turned on.

I'm afraid we can't do much about this. Can't PHPs error handling first set a 500 header and then output error messages as appropriate? It doesn't seem to me like this is something that can never ever be fixed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-12 15:40:32] tyra3l at gmail dot com It's seems that this is a known bug in the xdebug, see: http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=587 but couldn't fix it without making some changes in php itself: "Before I can address this, there need to be some changes in PHP itself. It doesn't expose some required information to extensions yet that I will need." I hope this get fixed soon. Tyrael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-12 15:35:41] tyra3l at gmail dot com I can reproduce the problem. I found out, that if I enable xdebug, then I get header 200, if I disable it, then it's 500. Will report it to Derick. Tyrael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-12 08:37:24] anzenews at volja dot net I am also having huge problems with this - haproxy health checks do not work reliably because of this bug. Please consider reopening it - it is not bogus. PHP doesn't return HTTP error code, even if display_errors is set to 0. One example: <? ini_set('display_errors',0); this_function_does_not_exist(); echo "ok"; ?> This returns an empty page with status code 200: ----- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:27:15 GMT Server Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny6 with Suhosin-Patch X-Powered-By PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny6 Vary Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding gzip Content-Length 20 Keep-Alive timeout=15, max=100 Connection Keep-Alive Content-Type text/html ----- Content-Length is 20, probably because of gzip? There are no spaces around PHP block in source code. I have checked phpinfo() and display_errors is set to Off, so there is no error there. Also, I have tried setting it in php.ini - no change. Another problem: parse errors are also not handled correctly (even if display_errors is set to 0 in php.ini). See previous poster's example. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-03 19:03:56] der...@php.net The reason why display errors needs to be turned of, is because displayed errors generate output, and output causes the headers to be send out.
