cd /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/php-4.2.3

Step Two

Step Three

make

Step Four

I dont know if this works or not ...
NICK... can you please make a new build apache with this?
or another solution ... I have compiled apache 3 times in the last hours.... and I keep getting the error.

Also... here you can view it working:
http://www.cascompany.com/phpbug.php

(if I make it work... I will remove this link... heh)

[Domenico]

Any luck yet? I need this fixed too...

[cass]

Oh, I have it working now ...

I compiled it WITHOUT mbstring .... just this and it worked.

this config worked for me:
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd=../gd-2.0.4' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib'

hope it helps.
Regards.

mbstring is disabled by default in newer buildapaches

[cass]

yeah, I know that, but this &patch& I posted here is supposed to FIX the problem with mbstring...

and if you have time ... maybe you can try & test it, and see if it works ... so you can make a new buildapache already patched.

Thanks!

[cass]

Also ... to test the bug is EASY, very very EASY.

just make a somename.php with :

&form action=&&?=$_SELF?&& method=&POST&&
&input name=&variable[]& value=&123456789&&
&input name=&variable[]& value=&abcdefghi&&
&input type=submit value=submit name=submit&
&/form&
&pre&
&?=print_r($_POST);?&
&/pre&

save & run it ...
if you see 56789 & efghi ... it's bad :P

Regards.
