PHP crashes Apache

[dougal85]

Any possible solutions to why this might be? I've got a particular website that when i try and run on my local testing server it crashes Apache... i didn't think PHP would be able too.

All the other sites I have locally are fine, when i view this one it all dies and i need to restart the Apache server before i can get on any of the other ones again.

It doesn't do anything particularly amazing, its just a database driven site. I can really post the code because I've no idea where the problem is and its about 6 thousands lines of code in total.

Any suggestions as to what might cause this?

I guess I'll just have to start commenting out sections a bit at a time. I cant think what it is :S

I don't know what it was, but a version of Apache + a certain version of PHP = Apache crashing whenever I tried to read data via http (e.g. with fopen, file_get_contents, etc.).

Upgrading PHP (or was it Apache? or both?.. don't remember which fixed it) did the trick.

What version of PHP & Apache are you running? Perhaps upgrade one or both?
