Hi,

I hit this bug after upgrading to 5.4.4-14+deb7u14
I get error report from cron via mail. 
While the maxlifetime script inspects all php.ini files, it first
iterates over the apache2/php.ini file. In this case the script does not
print out any value and just exits with 1, which in turn ends the entire
maxlifetime script, because it is executed via sh -e.

In my case, the proposed patch does not work.

To describe the symptom on my host, i'll demonstrate the output::

{{{
# for sapi in apache2 apache2filter cgi fpm; do echo $sapi; php5 -c /etc/php5/${sapi}/php.ini -d "error_reporting='~E_ALL'" -r 'pr int ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime"); print "\n";'; echo ret=$?; done
apache2
ret=1
apache2filter
1440
ret=0
cgi
1440
ret=0
fpm
1440
ret=0
}}}

You easily see, that this error just happens with the apache2/php.ini.
Digging a bit further into the problem with the apache2/php.ini file, I
realized that php5 behaves cumbersome.  It does not write out any error
messages and does not run the script and print the maxlifetime.
It just exits with error code 1.
Just look at the following run:
{{{
# php5 -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
# echo $0
1
}}}

php5 does not show any information that something obvious is wrong.
It just exits with error code 1.


According to the for-loop above this faulty behaviour looks to be
triggered by the apache2 configuration file.
Alhtough, I do not know anything profound about php.ini files, I assumed
that in case of an error in the ini file, I should get some error
message, right?
Or are there configuration options to silently exit a programm on error?


Cheers,
