[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #7301 Updated: Error in msql_result: reproducible From: afan.remove_this_spamguard <email protected>

Description: Error in msql_result: reproducible

I pared down the code and the data to the minium while
still getting the crash. Below is the code and the
msqldump. I think it is the NULL that is causing the
problem and not a blank entry.

Code:
---------------------------
<pre>
<?
$database = "foobar";
$sql ="SELECT * FROM events WHERE ev_day='18-Oct-2000' ORDER BY typ, srttm";
$result = msql($database,$sql);
$num_rows = msql_numrows($result);

$i = 0;
while ($i < $num_rows) {

    $aff = msql_result($result,$i,"aff");
        
        $sql_info = "SELECT show_provider_info,provider_serial_id FROM Providers where user_name = '$aff' LIMIT 1";
        echo "DEBUG: $sql_info: $num_rows<br>";

        $result_info = msql($database,$sql_info);
        echo "DEBUG_result: $result_info<br>";
        $show_info = msql_result($result_info,0,"show_provider_info") ;
        $this_provider = msql_result($result_info,0,"provider_serial_id") ;
        echo msql_error();

        echo "DEBUG: '$show_info', '$this_provider', '$aff'<br>\n";
        if ($i == 1) { //In this demo there are 3 entries
                exit; //If it gets to the third($i=2) the
        } //program crashes w/out fail.
        if ($show_info == 1) { //CRASHES HERE
                echo "HI";
        }

    $i++;
}
?>
</pre>

A piece of code worked perfectly with PHP3/Apache1.3.9/msql-2..11

I tried it with PHP4/Apache_1.3.14/msql-2.0.11 and got
sporadic crashes - I found out that:
IF 
  a) You have an msql database with a value in a row blank,
     e.g. ('asdf',1,'',,...) 
AND
  b) you have a SELECT * statement 
     $sql="SELECT * from table where ... ORDER BY ..."
     $result = msql($DB,$sql)
     while ($row = msql_fetch_row($result) ) {
        ....
     }
AND
  c) the FIRST row returned contains a value that is blank 
THEN
  when php hits the msql_fetch_row($result) line, 
  PHP returns nothing and gives an error in the log
file like: 
  child pid 9346 exit signal Segmentation Fault

HOWEVER, if the first row returned does not have a 
blank element in the row, then it seems to work ok.
----
I tried variations with 
msql_result(), msql_connect, and msql_pconnect as well
but all gave me the same problem.
-----
Relevent facts?: 
In running "make" I get 
 gcc .... -I/usr/local/Hughes/include .... -c php_msql.c -fPIC -DPIC -o php_msql.lo
 php_msql.c:189 warning: int format, long int (arg 4)
 php_msql.c:191 warning: int format, long int (arg 4)
 php_msql.c:196 warning: int format, long int (arg 4)
 php_msql.c:198 warning: int format, long int (arg 4)

I used the stock php.ini.dist file 

Thanks in advance - PHP is great!
