[php-maint] Bug#574982: libapache2-mod-php: php5.3.1: Closure problems on armel

[Králik Barnabás]

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Version: 5.3.1-5
Severity: important
File: libapache2-mod-php

I am using a PHP library called PHPActiveRecord, which should get
initialized by passing an initializer closure to a function.

The following code fails on my armel system if it is being invoked through
Apache:

$cfgf=function($cfg)
        {
            global $fsroot;
            global $dbname, $dbhost, $dblogin, $dbpass;
            $cfg->set_model_directory($fsroot.'lib/models');
            $cfg->set_connections(array('conn' =>
            'mysql://'.$dblogin.':'.$dbpass.'@'.$dbhost.'/'.$dbname));
            $cfg->set_default_connection('conn');
        };

    var_dump($cfgf);

    ActiveRecord\Config::initialize($cfgf);

Note, that when running from the command line, it executes successfully. Also, it runs
in a production environment (non-debian, but PHP 5.3.1 too).

The code produces the following output:

NULL

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to
ActiveRecord\Config::initialize() must be an instance of Closure, null
given, called in /data/www/wwwroot/pktr-live/lib/config.php on line 34 and
defined in /data/www/wwwroot/pktr-live/lib/php-activerecord/lib/Config.php
on line 86

However, invoking php -c /etc/php5/apache2 config.php executes correctly:

object(Closure)#1 (1) {
  ["parameter"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["$cfg"]=>
    string(10) "<required>"
  }
}

is the output.
