PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 010173CD

Hi,
I've installed PHP5 with IIS,XP and when running a simple php page,i encounter this error:
"PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 010173CD ".
I do not have the error when i ran code <? phpinfo(); ?>
Seems it mostly related to IIS than PHP.
Does anyone already face this?

Thanks !

More info...
I'd never encounter this error when running PHP4 with IIS CGI or ISAPI.
With PHP5,I tried both but same error.
Looks like PHP enhancements causes the error within IIS.
Thoughts are welcome! Smile

Of course I would not recommend using PHP5 for at least 6 months and I certainly don't recommend a windoze server for anything. Now I'll come down off my soapbox Wink

Lots of discussion about that error and it's a known bug. Just a couple of links for you.

Hi Again,
Here is Andi Gutmans' answer about this issue:
"The ISAPI version of PHP (Both in PHP 4 and PHP 5) is not recommended for use, due to stability problems. I suggest to either run PHP as a CGI binary or use the Zend WinEnabler product if you require a high-performance solution. "

Andi is Zend CoFounder and PHP expert.
Do i have a choice?Yes,this one... Bang Head

OTOH, version 4 works just fine. I do not recommend using v5 for several months. it is still buggy and definitely not production ready, imho.

U R Right,
I'm back to PHP4.3.8 with ISAPI and no error message again.
Thx!

i found a similiar problem as this. i get the following:
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 77F9F2A3

i gather that this is most likely an IIS issue. my question is what are the most stable, and up to date, versions of PHP and IIS that can be used together on a windows 2000 or 2003 server that see lots of activity?

any help would be great.

To my knowledge, v4.3.10 is stable on both environments. You might solicit opinions from the comp.lang.php News Group.

thanks for the help.

i found one problem with v4.3.10 for what i am doing. i do alot of error checking on my site, where i am currently using mssql. i found this message posted on php.net

27-Jan-2005 02:43
Warning ! with php 4.3.10, when you use mssql_query to insert or update data, the returned result is false but the query is really executed.
So you don't know if the query was really executed or not :/

at this link http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-query.php

this wrecks my error checks for inserts and updates. is there any way to make the mssql_query return something other than false for successful inserts and updates?

Never did anything with mssql. Can't you just do a subsequant read of the record you just changed and verify that the change was made? A little more overhead but it's probably not even noticable.

Not sure you'll find the answer here as most of us are using Apache on windows / linux, but I could be wrong... does not hurt to ask.

Seriously, if Apache is an option then you should be using Apache.

Regardless, the only thing that we could recommend is that you install it exactly as instructed in the php distribution. If you have and you still have the problem then your next best bet is to post a message at comp.lang.php News Group.
