#28074 [Opn->Asn]: Fast CGI standard compliance : stderr should be written in a FCGI stderr stream (fwd)

 Thanks, Jani.

 - Sascha

I addded fastcgi.logging ini option. Set that to 0 and you'll
get the original behaviour back.

--Jani

I'm more of the mindset that whoever breaks it, also fixes
it.

My current 'fix' would simply revert that patch. If you
agree with that, I will happily follow through.

This is an ugly change for users who redirect PHP's stderr to a log
file due to file permissions (PHP is not allowed to open the log
file).

Instead of writing to the log file, the Apache log now contains tons of
rows like this:

[Thu Apr 21 11:18:27 2005] [error] [client 129.0.10.119] FastCGI:
server "/home/www/PHP/php/bin/php" stderr: array (
[Thu Apr 21 11:18:27 2005] [error] [client 129.0.10.119] FastCGI:
server "/home/www/PHP/php/bin/php" stderr: 'rcs' =>
[Thu Apr 21 11:18:27 2005] [error] [client 129.0.10.119] FastCGI:
server "/home/www/PHP/php/bin/php" stderr: array (

etc.

This needs to be addressed -- make logging to fastcgi's stderr
optional.

This one turns out to be easy to fix, thus:

However, there is another similar bug, which is that a stream opened on
"php://stderr" should also direct its output to the FCGI error stream
(rather than just to file descriptor #2).

Description:

The Fast CGI standard require that error be reported through the
FastCGI connection as a Stderr data stream.
But PHP Fast CGI processes still write errors to original stderr (file
handle 3) which prevent from clean standard centralized FCGI logging,
especially when the Fast CGI PHP process is not started by the web
server (remote Fast CGI).

In most cases, it makes debugging PHP scripts impossible.
