XH 1.6.6: search function fails

[Holger]

It seems to me that is a bug in some PHP versions (which one do you use?), and we may have to offer some workaround.

Yes, it seems you're right. When searching the web there are a lot of reports about that issue together with some PHP 5.3.x versions.

A more strict and maybe even working replacement could be:

Code: Select all

if (class_exists('Normalizer') && method_exists('Normalizer', 'normalize'))

I can't find anything. Can you please point me to some or tell me some appropriate search words?

Code: Select all

if (class_exists('Normalizer') && method_exists('Normalizer', 'normalize'))

Yes, that's better. Thanks.

Of course.
Search - string: "php method_exists bug",
and then clicking around in the results, for example

Ah, interesting. I thought that method_exists() would have returned true here, but actually there's a segfault what explains the missing debug information. I've found a report in the PHP tracker, and the problem might be related to the Zend Guard Loader.

Anyway, if we can avoid the issue by simply adding a check for class_exists(), I suggest we do so.

Yes, I agree, a simple check for class_exists() should be enough in this case.

Hi Christoph,

I made the change that you mentioned and it has fixed the search issue. (method_exists to class_exists )
All works as expected now.

Many thanks, I'll call off my hosting provider techies now.

Have fun!

Thanks for reporting back.
I've put it on the roadmap for 1.6.8.

FTR: Fixed with r1682.
