command line mode CSS bug: background-image about dompdf HOT 5 CLOSED

This sounds like a possible bug, so this would be the appropriate place to post it.

I am unable to reproduce the problem. I have tried both an inline styles and a style definition in the head of the
document.

Can you provide some sample code? Also, do you know which version of PHP you have on your system?

...Well, that will teach me to be lazy and develop as su. And on outdated systems (php version is 5.2.4).

I did some more testing on some other boxes, and this only crops up when the the current working
directory is owned by root, and only when php is <5.2.8. So, admittedly, it's a pretty narrow bug.

Anyhow, I've added a sample php file that has potential to cause the crash.

Here are all the conditions I've found to reproduce the bug:

1: {background-image: none} in css
2: current working directory owned by root. The actual php script can live anywhere.
3: Either OS X 10.4 or PHP version 5.2.4. I could not reproduce the crash on my 10.5 system (with both PHP
5.2.8 and 5.3.0), so I'm not sure if OS X or PHP was the culprit.

Thanks for the update. We'll check into it to make sure it's not a bug that could crop up in other circumstances.

Thanks! In the meantime, I've gotten around it for now by streamlining the css so it doesn't need 'background-
image' in the first place.

Closing. This issue is rather obscure, haven't seen report of a similar problem of late.
