PHP version: 5.2.5
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Endless Recursion Ends quickly, throws no error
Description:
------------
Basically my script was ending in the middle and output at the end of the
script was not outputted. This was due to a coding error, however I
believe a PHP error should have been thrown because PHP terminated the
request at some point. It was a stupid mistake, however not the easiest to
track down.
The code isn't my actual code, but it will reproduce what I think is a
problem.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$c=0;
function recursiveTest() {
global $c;
echo $c++."<br>";
recursiveTest();
}
recursiveTest();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I would expect it to go on until memory limit is reached, throwing an
error, max execution time reached, throwing an error, or something that
throws an error.
In my environment it gets to 19456 and stops everytime, no error is given
and it stops very quicky.
ENDLESS RECURSION ERROR.
Some kind of error.
Actual result:
--------------
1
2
3
....
19456
