Howdy,
We are looking for insight into what might cause two identical setups to treat E_PARSE differently. It is as if error_reporting, display_errors, display_startup_errors, and log_errors (in main php.ini and reflected in phpinfo()) are in effect on one and ignored on the other.
Both servers:
- are the same OS and architecture
- have the same PHPs, extensions
- have the same php.ini (which
phpinfo()reflects is actually in effect)- on both: error_reporting is E_ALL, log_errors is On, display_startup_errors on or off does’t change anything
- All 5.x and 7.x behave consistently on a given machine
- we simplify by calling the syntactically incorrect script via the binary in a shell (i.e. no web server setup weirdness)
- each path involved has no php.ini or .user.ini (or .htaccess FTM)
-
error_log(…)will write to $CWD/error_log ok
On server A:
- a syntax error gets written to $CWD/error_log
- Is out put if display_errors is On
- via CGI is a 500
- via CLI exits unclean
On Server B:
- a syntax error does not get written to $CWD/error_log
- Is not output when display_errors is On
- via CGI is a 200
- via CLI exits clean
Here it is in action as boiled down as we can get:
Server where it is logged:
# wc -l error_log;/usr/bin/php-cgi syn.php;echo $?;wc -l error_log
wc: error_log: No such file or directory
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
255
1 error_log
# wc -l error_log;/usr/bin/php syn.php;echo $?;wc -l error_log
1 error_log
255
2 error_log
#
Server where it is not logged:
# wc -l error_log;/usr/bin/php-cgi syn.php;echo $?;wc -l error_log
wc: error_log: No such file or directory
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
0
wc: error_log: No such file or directory
# touch error_log
# wc -l error_log;/usr/bin/php-cgi syn.php;echo $?;wc -l error_log
0 error_log
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
0
0 error_log
# wc -l error_log;/usr/bin/php syn.php;echo $?;wc -l error_log
0 error_log
0
0 error_log
#
If you have any ideas of what might cause that we’d be very grateful.
Thanks!
