Package: php5-xcache Version: 3.2.0-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, when two php source files are identical and they use a static variable which has __DIR__ or __FILE__ in it, it will get cached once (which itself is not a bug), but when the files are requested, the othe returns __DIR__ or __FILE__ from the first accessed instance. It seems like these specail variables turn into static strings upon inserting into the cache. This error originally appeared when copying composer installations (composer uses a class that has static variable with __DIR__ in the value).
To reproduce the error only four simple files are necessary: testmain1.php: <?php require_once 'testinclude1.php'; var_dump($myfilename); testinclude1.php: <?php static $myfilename=__FILE__; testmain2.php: <?php require_once 'testinclude2.php'; var_dump($myfilename); testinclude2.php: <?php static $myfilename=__FILE__; After browsing to testmain1.php and then to testmain2.php i see string(35) "/var/www/testcache/testinclude1.php" and string(35) "/var/www/testcache/testinclude1.php" while the expected results are string(35) "/var/www/testcache/testinclude1.php" and string(35) "/var/www/testcache/testinclude2.php" When the varialbes are NOT static, it gets interpretted correctly even though the file is cached only once in the memory. I've also reported the bug in xcache's Trac: https://xcache.lighttpd.net/ticket/371 Regards Jiri
