Public bug reported: Binary package hint: php5
PHP appears to be opening stdin improperly. You can see the behavior by running: $ php -i | less Notice how less does not redraw the screen correctly, and pressing the up or down arrow keys results in ^[OB being written to the bottom of the screen. I think that this is because of a race condition between php and less. The following command does not have the problem: $ php -i < /dev/null | less This has been reproduced on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid as well as a clean Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy machine (with php-cli installed first, of course). It could not be reproduced on Debian 4.0 etch, or a minimal, clean build of PHP 5.2 off of the CVS source tree (on intrepid). I suspect one of Ubuntu's patches is causing this problem, but I don't know which. The PHP package version is 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 ** Affects: php5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- php incorrectly opens stdin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
