Status: Closed
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: Windows 2000
PHP Version: 4CVS, 5CVS
New Comment:
pubnelle is right.
I tried this:
----file1.php----
<?
include("http://www.infogateway.org/file2.php?foo=test";);
?>
----end----
----file2.php----
<?
echo $_GET['foo'];
?>
----end----
And it crashes! Don't go tell us it is not a bug or problem, the php
manual says it should work:
----
If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the
default configuration), you can specify the file to be included using a
URL (via HTTP or other supported wrapper - see Appendix L for a list of
protocols) instead of a local pathname. If the target server interprets
the target file as PHP code, variables may be passed to the included
file using a URL request string as used with HTTP GET. This is not
strictly speaking the same thing as including the file and having it
inherit the parent file's variable scope; the script is actually being
run on the remote server and the result is then being included into the
local script.

Hi,
I have written already about apache hanging, in bug number 28856.
I think that the problem is not only session related, and that it
appeared after PHP 4.3.2.
You may not agree with the fact that including, requiring or
"virtual"ing pages that are on the same server need to be included
using the full http domain name. But there, we do it a lot, and it's
working very well on our old servers, with php 4.3.2.
Here is a very simple example where the server is hanging.
file1.php :
<?
include("http://thisdomain.com/file2.php";);
?>
file2.php :
<?
//anything, for example
phpinfo();
?>
On a Debian Box, PHP Version 5.0.1-dotdeb, Apache/1.3.26, the server is
hanging .
No session started, session.auto_start set to Off.
I agree that this is a stupid example and that here I would use simply
include("file2.php"); believe me the situations where we use the
include("http ...) are a lot more complex and we cannot avoid to do
this.
Please, don't answer that nobody uses the include, or require, or
anthing, with the http to be able to use some Apache Vhost related
features : we do a lot, and I am in a despair, here ...
Thanks for your attention,
Estelle

Just posting to suggest that it would be nice to have this workaround
posted in the manual for popen and other system command issuing
functions. I resorted to blanking out the page to keep users from
clicking a second link before the first finished loading to avoid a
server hang.
This workaround eliminates the need for that very clunky "fix" but it
took me quite awhile to find it because I was digging through the
manual. It might be a good idea to link the manual entries to the
related bug reports.
I'm using Apache 2.0.49 PHP 4.3.6 (upgrading soon) and Windows 2000
Pro.

The workaround has shown to be effective in eliminating this issue.
Closing the bug.

I had experienced the same issue, php4&5, winXP, apache2. Workaround is
fixing the problem.
Thanks,
Andi

My initial tests show that the workaround is doing the trick! I will
send out a message to have more users test this and report back. Thanks
for pointing this out.
