OK, knowing *exactly* what is going on when there are lots of other peoples code involved (a framework, ADODB, JPSpan, etc.) is tuff, but here is what I think:
The lowdown: mysqli seems to be gone by the time the shutdown function is called (the error being "Couldn't fetch mysqli"). That makes an exception, and depending on whatever else is loaded, it will either try to squelch the error or throw a new exception which leads to the error at Unknown at line 0 bug. At any rate, there are two problems: 1) That the newly thrown exception blows up into a fatal error that doesn't list the file or line number. 2) mysqli is unloaded(!?) (or appears to be) before the the user's shutdown function is called. This one is SERIOUS -- I use it to save session data, etc. This then becomes impossible to do. In the backtrace you'll notice that the function table (in fact, all parameters, are, as Markus says, borked!) when going from call_user_function() to call_user_function_ex() on the mysqli extention. #24 0x0823e95c in call_user_function_ex (function_table=0x1, object_pp=0x1, function_name=0x1, retval_ptr_ptr=0x1, param_count=1, params=0x1, no_separation=1, symbol_table=0x1) at /php-5.1.0RC1/Zend/zend_execute_API.c:571 #25 0x0823e998 in call_user_function (function_table=0xa0a2350, object_pp=0x0, function_name=0xa43f80c, retval_ptr=0xbfe96ad0, param_count=0, params=0xa448280) at /php-5.1.0RC1/Zend/zend_execute_API.c:544 I guess I should make a bug report or two. ?? -steve-- -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
