My code drops core

[ddalton]

My code is working fine then at some point it drops core, I assume exhausting a resource, but all I get in my syslog is :

Mar 7 17:19:30 machine kernel: pid 67067 (php), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and I get a php.core

The process status goes to ufs, I dont know how to proceed, any help would be greatly appreciated

Consider how helpful it would be to this group to see your code...

in perl that happens when you have an infinite loop

Sorry perhaps I am being unclear, I am looking to get more debugging information from php, I am running a php cli script on Freebsd 5.1, I have tried php -e <script> but that returns the same info, where is the extended information returned? can I get a more informative dump than the php.core when php bombs?

My solution was to write my own simple debug script for CLI and it helped me find the problem.

Make it a function with globals or a class

$this->debug=false; // turn on debugging (debug.log)
$this->debughtml=false;// if debugdisplay is on make it text
$this->debugsystem="system"; //debug by groups

function debugmsg ($message,$system)
{
$month = date("M");
$day = date("d");
$year = date("Y");
$time = ":".date("H").":".date("i").":".date("s");
if (($this->debugsystem==$system ||$this->debugsystem=="all") && $this->debug)
{
$data= "[".$day."/".$month."/".$year.$time."]- $message \n";
//$filename = "debug.$year.$month.log";// for future logging
$filename = "debug.log";
$fp=fopen($filename, "a");
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
if ($this->debugdisplay)
{
if ($this->debuglevel==$level)
{
if ($this->debughtml)
echo ("Debug: $message<BR>");
else
echo ("Debug: $message\n");
}
}
}
return;
}

example:

$this->debugmsg("SYSTEM: $variable1 $var2 ","system");
