From: pkwan at advsofteng dot net Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: dl is incorrect disabled instead of deprecated
Description: ------------ According to the PHP documentation, the "dl" function is deprecated, but not disabled. So it should continue to work. The followings are the supporting documentation as published in http://www.php.net/dl - 5.3.0 This function now throws an E_DEPRECATED notice on all sapi's except for CLI, CGI and Embed. - As of PHP 5, the dl() function is deprecated in every SAPI except CLI. Use Extension Loading Directives method instead. - Since PHP 6 this function is disabled in all SAPIs, except CLI, CGI and embed. The above means "dl" is disabled in some SAPI only starting from PHP 6. Even in PHP 6, "dl" should continue to work in CLI, CGI and embed. In PHP 5, "dl" is deprecated but not disabled. It should work in CLI, CGI, Embed, and at most throws a E_DEPRECATED notice in other SAPI. In practice, "dl" does not work in CGI, and no E_DEPRECATED notice is throw in any case. After some trouble-shooting, the code that causes the problem is (located in cgi_main.c): if (!cgi && !fastcgi && !bindpath) { cgi_sapi_module.additional_functions = additional_functions; } The above disables the "dl" function in CGI usage, conflicting with the documentation. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php dl("any_name.dll"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- If the above code is executed in CGI, no error message is expected. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined function dl() in C:\Inetpub\Scripts\phpinfo.php on line 1 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48839&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48839&r=mysqlcfg
