Hi there,

I am trying to run Missing Recipe on my Guild Roster. But everytime I click on it I get a white page after a couple of seconds telling me this:

Code: Select all

PHP has encountered a Stack overflow

Any idea what's the reason for this?

thanks for help

Looks like a PHP bug. Try updating to the latest version of PHP. If that doesn't work, complain to the php devs. If you can't update, complain to your host.

I am running php 4.4.4 the latest is 4.4.9

I can try if an update helps.

Heu ???? (me go to www.php.net) - Ok, I get it.

Ok, it says PHP 4.4.9 is released! - but this concerns a security update, because many legacy program are not writen for the PHP 5.0 branch, and 5 is the current now for a bit more the one year and a half.

Anyway, I do think that you problem isn't PHP related. It's more a result of a classic out-of-memory error.
Do you use a host ? Can you inform about the memory at your disposal ?Try to reduce the time out of the Missing recipes addon.

Exactly, thats why I don't have the 5.0 branch installed.

I have complete access to the server it's a virtual Windowss 2003 Server.

I tried diffenrt settings for the timeout already, did not help

And I don't want to be smartass, but I am quite familiar with programming, and usually a stack overfolw indicates some sort of endless loop or a recursive function call withour correct end condition.
I doubt that its a memory problem. Nevertheless I can check that.

From what I know, PHP 5 is better as 4.
4.4 only has security issues being updated (and the last 4.4.9 handled a memory overflow !!) - this wil be the last update.
Really, consider going for 5 real soon now ^^

Ok, forget about local memory stuff, I was trying to filter the issue "I have a zero $ a month super server" thing (with 128 Mb of memory - and everything locked down so useless ^^)

I'll add a new point : in both realmstatus.php and missingrecipes/guild/index.php the function urlgrabber is used.

The difference is : in realmstatus.php it's only called ones, in missingrecipes/guild/index.php it's being called many times rapidly.
Now, I presume that http://wow.allakhazam.com is treating YOUR request as mine, so no problem there.

You could disable in missingrecipes/guild/index.php nearly all urlgrabber() - only keep the first 5 in the 'Alchemy' part - to see if this goes well, and if your problem is urlgrabber related.

If not, next candidate are all these preg_match_all further allong.
But if the trouble is there, then that means that upgrading your PHP to 4.4.9 would do the job for you.
Because for what I said above, in the start of this post.

After all : missingrecipes/guild/index.php works for "us".
And we all use http://wow.allakhazam.com
Leaving as an unkown factor : your server code (php most probably).
