[php-maint] Bug#705106: php5: /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime returns no output

[Michal Palenik]

Package: php5
Version: 5.4.4-14
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime returns no output if some of the php.ini files
contain an error/warning. error in php.ini are quite easy to get: some
depreciated php option in interfaces user does not use (cli, fpm, ...)

in the code there is line 
"error_reporting='~E_ALL'"
which causes the the maxlifetime script to return nothing, which is then
interpreted by /etc/cron.d/php5 as 0 which as a result does not clear
session files. my outcome was /var running out of inodes and server
crashing. running the files does not report any error.

solution:
change /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime  from 
"error_reporting='~E_ALL'"
to 
"error_reporting='~E_NONE'"
(or alternatively do not override default setting set in */php.ini)
