Data corruption on bit columns in the database

Postby ale5000 » 01. August 2017 13:26

XAMPP for Windows 7.1.7 (probably also 7.0.21) contains a version of PHP that corrupt data in the database for fields of type bit.

Can you please include this fix? https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/e15c418c4c765d3a0c65a5ff15dcf37b1e556a66
It is important to prevent data corruption.

Hi,

This php source commit is from Dec 2016, which was way way before the release of PHP 7.1.7.
What makes you sure that this bug still exists in PHP 7.1.7? It was fixed for PHP 7.0.15+.

And: We cannot provide any PHP source code fixed for already released PHP versions, because we only include the binaries provided by php.net.
So the only way would be to wait for a new PHP release which gets included in a new XAMPP version.

best wishes,
Altrea

Well then, maybe is in a different part of the code but the bug exist, I tested it personally.

The problem is possibly Windows specific but I'm not sure.
