PHP5.3, early parsing and &$SESS

Jamie Pittock 20 Feb 2010 17:22 problem, complete

Hey Low, as mentioned on email earlier, early parsing doesn't seem to be working on my local machine running PHP5.3. I've tried it on a remote server running PHP5.2 and all works as expected.

I've traced it down to line 194 of ext.low_variables.php.

If I remove &$SESS everything works as it should do on both PHP5.3 and PHP5.2.x

   Hey Jamie,
   
   I've finally managed to get PHP5.3.0 running next to PHP5.2.x, so I can try to debug this properly, now.
   
   But still I'm having trouble reproducing this behaviour. What other extensions are installed?
   
   Also, can you try the following: Enable PHP on Input in a template and add this code:
   
   <?php
global $IN, $SESS;
print_r($IN->global_vars);
print_r($SESS->cache);
?>
   
   ...and then send me the output.
   
   Thanks!

   I'm also thinking it might have something to do with this bug. What's the EE build number you're having the issue with?

   And now I'm sure it's related to this bug, as I've been able to reproduce it. Updating EE (or at least core.extensions.php) to the latest build will solve the issue.

   Thanks mate. I'll check this tonight.

   Hey guys!
   
   I'm just moving a 1.6.8 site to a new server running 5.3.3 and came into this issue. I fixed it by uploading the core.extensions.php file from 1.6.9 into my 1.6.8 build.
   
   Hoping that this isn't going to break something else on the site - fingers crossed!
