Segfault in PHP5.5 when casting a string to a string in Type.php about php-ews

Sorry, I thought removing the casting would fix this, but it's still happening.

Hm, thanks for that, I'll investigate in to this and try to find out why the issue is caused

I'm having issues reproducing this, even with PHP 5.5.9. I've tried the following code with no issues

$type = new Type();
var_dump((string) $type);

$type->_ = 'test';
var_dump((string) $type);

$type->_ = array();
var_dump((string) $type);

$type->_ = 123;
var_dump((string) $type);

$type->_ = new Type();
var_dump((string) $type);

$type->_ = $type;
var_dump((string) $type);

$type->_ = &$type;
var_dump((string) $type);
exit();

Can you post the code you've got that you're able to replicate with? And do you know what the value of Type::_ would be when it segfaults?

Hi, could you please see if the problem persists in 0.7.8?

Hi Garath,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

The first test of the Types works fine, it does not segfault.

The value is "Default"

Interestingly, it passes through this function 7 times, with different values of the string ("", "Default") and they work fine. On the 8th call it segfaults with the value set to "Default"

Good news, it seems to work fine in 0.7.8!
