Apache crashes when attempting register_tick_function()

Stats: PHP 4.3.0, Windows XP Professional, Apache 2.0.43

Whenever I attempt to call the function "register_tick_function", Apache seems to crash....I get the horrific Windows XP "This program has encountered a problem and needs to close" window, whereby Apache promptly restarts itself, attempts it again, crashes, etc etc. And the circle continues.

If I remove that line of code, it works, but defeats the purpose. Has anybody else come across this and fixed it? If you have, how?

Here's the test code I was using:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

function foo() {

    echo "Here's a tick!<br />";

}



$arr=array();

register_tick_function("foo");

declare(ticks=2) {

    for ($x=0; $x<10; $x++) {

        $arr[] = microtime();

    }

}

?>

Thanks for any help
-J.

Jeb,

Not sure myself, as I haven't used this function... But have you tried using it without the string value of the foo() function?

In the PHP manual, it doesn't mention anything about a string, so I'm not sure... But it's worth a try, if you haven't already.

I see you're using the latest version of PHP, have you checked to see if there are any reported bugs... It may be an issue with the release.

Just a couple suggestions.

Frank,

Thanks for the reply, I checked the bug archives and you were right, someone had already posted about this bug. Apparently it's a Win32 problem, they can't duplicate it on Linux.

I attempted downloading the latest PHP snapshot and installing that, however that still has no effect.

I guess it's time to find a cheap old PC and put Linux on it.

Thanks,
-J.

Jeb,

No problem... I had a feeling it was something along those lines! Thank god for bug repositories!

Hopefully they'll resolve it soon... As for the cheap PC: probably your best alternative!

Btw, welcome to DevArticles! Enjoy your stay!
