Server suddenly stops working when connecting two functions
To say in a few words, the situation is following (though I understand it is silly): having decoded some entity (html_entity_decode) php-runner makes preg_replace work as exit(). At this it finishes the work correctly; the process is not left to stick.
<?
ob_implicit_flush();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
for($i=0;$i<250;$i++) echo "<!-- -->";
echo $blabla; // here is an error to make you see that errors are displayed
echo "line " . __LINE__ . "<br>"; // line 6
$var = file_get_contents("test.txt");
echo "line " . __LINE__ . "<br>"; // line 8
$var = html_entity_decode($var);
echo "line " . __LINE__ . "<br>"; // line 10
$var = preg_replace("/^.+?(\<body.+?\/body\> ).+?$/is", "$1", $var);
echo "line " . __LINE__ . "<br>"; // line 12
echo "<pre><xmp>"; print_r($var); echo "</xmp></pre>";
?>We read txt-file into line and try to do some manipulations.
script finishes its work on the line 11 without having accomplished at least half of the necessary operations but without any errors.
Place where the script breaks down and, to tell more precisely, the reason of it is IMPOSSIBLE to discover as far as any manipulation (editing) with txt-file results into normal script’s work.
The script works as well if you make trim or don’t make html_entity_decode.
Help me to analyze the situation.
As a matter of fact I’m interested in the reason of work finishing on preg_replace WITHOUT any errors.
In order to evade them in the future.
Concerning txt-file I can say only that it has symbol end_of_line but, as I already said, it’s difficult to understand if it matters as far as any editing of the file results into working ability.
P.S. PHP Version 5.0.4, Apache 2.0 Handler

The matter could be in the archive

Re: Server suddenly stops working when connecting two functions
reetesh, could you write more detailed about >$1. I cannot realize it completely.
It seems to me that by archive manipulations txt-file is spoilt. At least, at my local after archive everything functions properly.
I hope that someone has already faced such a situation when by crossing from html_entity_decode to preg_replace script finished its work without any error and he is able to explain the reason to me…
I’m going to examine bug reports a bit later because I’m tired.

Re: Server suddenly stops working when connecting two functions
Well, it works after the archive. Fixing isn’t a problem – trim is enough. I just want to realize why this all happens. Do I need var_dump?

Re: Server suddenly stops working when connecting two functions
Frankly speaking, I don’t understand you.
Why are you talking about archive? It just transfers files as they are on your hard and records checksum for integrity verification.
Give me the script that ‘suddenly stops working’, I will debug it and we’ll continue our conversation. I haven’t seen anything by the time.

Re: Server suddenly stops working when connecting two functions
If only I could understand it myself… 
You already have the script. This is the same as at the page.
The txt-file in the link is the same with which script works.
As I said, by each manipulation with file such as editing, archiving etc. the script works at once.
To get absolutely clean file you are to request it with socket here http://www.dimsoft.com/ as far as with file_get_contents we get quite the different things.
So I ask for an advice here because it’s difficult for me to understand what the reason is. By any other circumstances I would manage it myself.
Look, it’s nonsense: having decoded any entity the script makes preg_replace work as как exit(); Isn’t it stupid? At this it finishes the work correctly.

Re: Server suddenly stops working when connecting two functions
PHP Version 5.0.4
You seem to be fond of ancient things
You are to update up to 5.2.1. first and then we’ll see…

Re: Server suddenly stops working when connecting two functions
Today I updated up to 5.0.5 and the bug disappeared at once…
At this in all the rpm-repositories there is only 5.0.4 for FC4. I’ve found 5.0.5 in the testing variant only. The latest PHP-versions demand new libraries and those in their turn demand axis core renewal which is not good.
If someone ever occasionally (or on purpose) faces a bug like this and examines it carefully (occasionally or on purpose), I beg you to let me know about entity (maybe it’s the symbols’ order) that has such results.
