The user assumed that the id returned by shmop_open would be the shmid, and was confused by the shmop resource identifier. (I explained to him what the return actually was) I suggested he use his own unique key to be able to identify the shared memory created for his script, but he said that it had to be 0x0. I've added a function to retrieve shmop-&gt;shmid in my own fork of PHP. You can see the changes here and the commit message contains a quick usage/test script: https://github.com/nedwidek/php-src/commit/832e77fce15de926b562b6dcc28d1864bb7c348b So I guess the questions are: Is there a particular reason that the shmid is hidden from PHP scripts? Is there any reason not to move this to a formal RFC? Should similar methods be added to the sysv* extensions where applicab</pre> Erik Nedwidek 2013-05-18T14:50:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.devel/80343 <pre>Hi internals! I just noticed that we added the PBKDF2 algorithm two times in PHP 5.5. Once in the hash extension, once in the OpenSSL extension. The hash_pbkdf2 function was added via this RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/hash_pbkdf2 The openssl_pbkdf2 function probably was not noticed at that time because it was just commited, but not mentioned anywhere else (NEWS, UPGRADING, etc). Only saw it in vrana's documentation updates just now. The relevant commit is here: https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/f4847ef It would be nice if we could have only one of those functions. I'm currently tending towards the hash_ variant because of the commit message of the openssl_ function: support optional has it already parameter so it can be It seems that the author already would have preferred it in the hash extension and that the openssl variant only works with sha1 (or was only tested with it? not sure).

I finally figured out how to subscribe to the list properly. (side NOTE: how to subscribe to the lists is very poorly documented -- there is nice whole page about all the php lists, but no links or docs about how to subscribe. Elsewhere, I found how to subscribe to php-general, and extrapolated from that -- however, it took a bunch of failed attempts, and much frustration, before I figured out that list list is called "internals" rather than "php.internals" or "php-internals", or ???. But I guess that weeds out the less-persistent!) Sorry if it's a repeat. I'm interesting in the status of the GD lib as a stand-alone library. I'd like to use it on it's own, and perhaps write some new python bindings for it. But as we all know the state of libGD's web presence is confusing (though recently improved).

We are in RC, so mainly stabilizing stuff and preparing the final release for anyone to setup 5.5 on their servers. I see the documentation migration guide has already been commited, that's a good new. I also see that new features we ship in 5.5 are online in the documentation, great ! But a crucial feature is missing doc : OPCache. As this feature is a very big step in PHP's life (we finally have a recommanded, bundled opcode cache system, and I'm very proud of this personnaly), I think it is crucial to have a good documentation about it. Has anyone started to write some doc about OPCache ? Another subject is APC. We have its doc on php.net, all right. What I would like is we patch APC doc when 5.5 final gets released, to clearly show our mind about it. That way, any people using 5.5 should be able to read in the doc that APC has support has been interrupted, that APC should never be used together with OPCache, and that OPCache is now the standard recomma</pre> Julien Pauli 2013-05-15T13:54:38 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.devel/80325 <pre>Hi! The basic idea behind this is to get a better seperation of different php pools (so e.g. php scripts from one pool can't access the other and vice versa). I did a small patch (https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/343) that adds a configuration parameter to pools (apparmor_hat). If this is set, workers of the pool try to change the apparmor hat to the specified value. The patch only touches fpm. Only thing that's needed is libapparmor - if it is not there the functionality just gets left out. To keep things simple this version is very coarse - meaning it is not possible to change the hat back, or change to a different hat according to the executed script. Any thoughts on this?

When a MultipleIterator instance has the MIT_NEED_ANY flag, and when one of the attached iterators has reached its end, the returned value is NULL. I propose to change this behavior by allowing a different default value. Example with no default value: $it = new \MultipleIterator( \MultipleIterator::MIT_NEED_ANY | \MultipleIterator::MIT_KEYS_ASSOC ); $it-&gt;attachIterator(new \ArrayIterator(['a', 'b', 'c']), 'foo'); $it-&gt;attachIterator(new \ArrayIterator(['x']), 'bar'); foreach($it as $value) echo $value['foo'], ' =&gt; ', $value['bar'], "\n"; /** * Will output: * a =&gt; x * b =&gt; * c =&gt; */ Example with 42 as a default value (given as a third parameter of the MultipleIterator::attachIterator method): $it-&gt;attachIterator(new \ArrayIterator(['a', 'b', 'c']), 'foo', 42); $it-&gt;attachIterator(new \ArrayIterator(['x']), '</pre> Ivan Enderlin < at > Hoa 2013-05-14T08:35:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.devel/80316 <pre>For those of you with direct clones of ZendOptimizerPlus, you’d have to run: git remote set-url origin git&lt; at &gt;github.com:zendtech/ZendOptimizerPlus.git on your clones for them to continue working.

I understand there's a technical limitation making it difficult/impossible to handle exceptions during __toString() - and it looks like you can still try {...} catch (Exception $e) in __toString() just fine, but then what? You have the exception, but you have no way to pass it to the standard global exception-handler. If the script has to terminate either way, why not terminate the same way an unhandled exception would normally cause the script to terminate? E.g. output the actual error-message, or pass it to whatever was registered with register_exception_handler() so it can be output or handled in the usual way? </pre> Rasmus Schultz 2013-05-09T22:00:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.devel/80272 <pre>Hi, trying out the following source I was astonished to see that using list() does not work directly in a foreach() but works fine if used through a temporary variable.

The RC1 looks pretty solid so far. As the new opcache does not provide a user cache to store custom variables, I would be glad if you could clarify what the best migration from 5.4 would be. * Is APC basically dead and wont support PHP 5.5? * Should APC users switch to opcache and APCu? (with APCu replacing the APC package) For PHP application developers: * Regarding APCu: it provides the old PHP interface function as well as their own apcu_* functions. They are aliases right now. Should application developers think about switching to the apcu_-API as new features will be available only here? Bonus question: * Right now very similar functionality is provided by APCu, XCache, WinCache, YAC etc.. Are there plans to include such functionality inside PHP in future to make application developers life a little easier? At least a common API would be great.

The current fpm config parser did a read(2) syscall per character, which obfuscated debugging strace/ktrace output somewhat. This also makes the 1024 characters per line limit more explicit, so the users will know what were they hitting. It might improve performance during php-fpm load (.03 vs .00 seconds on my laptop) but primarily serves to help observing fpm system call traces during deployment (in chroot for example).
