From: riorius at hotmail dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 Pro PHP version: 5.0.0 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Odd behavior when opening a file from __destruct()
Description: ------------ In my script, a user-defined class is instantiated, and a reference is maintained until the script's end. When the script ends, the class's __destruct() method is called. Inside of the __destruct() method for this class, I was trying to open a file on the server to save data. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Foo { function __destruct() { $out = fopen("save.txt", "w"); fwrite($out, $info); } } $temp = new Foo(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expected that, when the script ended, the __destruct() method would be called, and it would successfully open the file and save the data. Actual result: -------------- When opening a file for writing, I would get a warning, "failed to open stream: Permission denied"; if I tried to open a file for reading, I would get a different warning, "failed to open stream: No such file or directory". Neither of these errors are appropriate: all permissions were available, the file was already created. If I used the exact same code in another method, or destroyed the reference to the class before the script's termination (thus causing the __destruct() method to be called earlier), the file would open and write with no problems. This only arose when the reference to my object was destroyed by the script's termination. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29164&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29164&r=float
