MMcache Is Incompatible With PHP 4.3.10

    After an upgrade of PHP to 4.3.10 and a recompile of mmcache it appears that mmcache no longer functions correctly.  I tried this on 2 Linux computers with the same results.

    A simple foreach on an associative array returns the correct number of elements but both the key and the value are empty.  For example:

    <?php
      $my_array = array (
        'fruit' => 'banana',
        'meat'  => 'beef',
        'nut'   => 'peacan'
        );

      foreach ($my_array as $k => $v) {
        echo ("key=$k, value=$v<br>");
      }
    ?>

    Should return:
    key=fruit, value=banana
    key=meat, value=beef
    key=nut, value=peacan

    But once encoded it returns:
    key=, value=
    key=, value=
    key=, value=

    I've tried with and without the new Zend Optimizer 2.5.7 and it has no impact.

    I guess this had to happen one day. PHP changes something internal that impacts mmcache. Is it now the end of mmcache? :-( Say it isn't so.

      yeah, there were some changes which even broke older zend-optimizer versions.

      maybe you should try this without the optimizer in mmcache enabled.

      mmcache will not die. active development is being done there -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/eaccelerator .
      maybe you should report this as a bug in this project too

      Just tried that on our server with PHP 4.3.10 and it works as expected.

        Yes, this and the dirname test work fine on my Apache 1.3.31 / PHP 4.3.10 / Turck MMCache 2.4.6 setup.  (I don't use 2.4.7 CVS - could that be the problem people are running into?)

      I turned off the optimizer and restarted apache and got the same results.

      Also, tried re-encoding the script after turning off the optimizer and got a slightly different encoded  string.  Still got the same results again.  Arrays all appear empty when using a foreach loop.

        Ok. I will check it. It's because php4 back-ported php5's foreach for performance reason.
        mmcache can work with php4/5. so, I think that's simple. but, It will take time because I'm busy.
        and, I joined eAccelerator team, so If we release
        new version for php 4.3.10, we will announce on eaccelerator's page on sf.net

        please wait a week or two.

      That is not the only problem try:

      <?php
      echo dirname(__FILE__) . "my php";
      ?>

      you always get a dot: .

      that should return for my:

      /home/myuser/include/

      any idea??

      I'm using apache 1.3.33 / PHP 4.10 / Turck 2.4.6 on Linux (tried Gentoo and Fedora Core 2). dirname works fine on the Gentoo box (didn't try Fedora) but the foreach is broken on both.
