From: defenestrator at gmail dot com Operating system: FreeBSD PHP version: 5.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: PHP says syntax errors are 200 OK
Description: ------------ When there is a syntax error in a PHP file, PHP sends back a 200 OK response without any caching headers. This results in browsers such as IE or Opera caching the resulting error, which can hinder debugging in some cases. For example, an XMLHttpRequest to a faulty script can't be easily force-refreshed from a browser. I'd prefer for PHP to produce a 500 error in this case. Alternatively, if you must produce a 200, then sending some headers to inhibit caching will solve the problem as well. Reproduce code: --------------- <?<?> Expected result: ---------------- HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error ... Content-Length: 144 Content-Type: text/html <br /> <b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected '<' ... Actual result: -------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK ... Content-Length: 144 Content-Type: text/html <br /> <b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected '<' ... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41342&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41342&r=mysqlcfg
