Normally when you'd send PHP into an infinite loop, it somehow checks this and cancels the script execution due to it. However, by accident i just invoked the following function one after another, which did not get canceled and result in the destruction of apache ...


public static function __basePointer()
{
if ( self::$_isPtr == 0 )
{
$c = __CLASS__;
self::$_isPtr = new $c;
}

return self::$_isPtr;
}

Now, on the construct method call another class with that function.
Bye apache o.O

Apache is a free webserver which most (if not all) PHP-hosting services run upon. And yes, of course i crash my own apache, what do you think - ill spend time targetting other man servers in an useless attempt? Nah, you have to see the possibilities - after all, hosting companies often only run one apache server..

Well at least we don't have to worry about a mod trying to compete against us because the team can just crash their site :eek:
