• Database Driver & Version: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.53

Description:

L5.2: User table does not allow extra fields, L5.2 core dumps when adding/updating; I'm working on a webbased program where I need to have a login routine using a simple setup using like the following; admin, superuser, sales for this i've added two additional columns to the Users table labelled: is_admin (int), role (varchar(20)) when trying to add or update a user now Laravel/PHP crashes and gives an core-dump message in the Apache log file. The 'mass fill' option already has all required fields. No luck getting this working.

Another approach i've tried is following a simple setup of two tables Users (in its original form) and a 'hasOne' table for Roles (with again a minimal setup being) - id, user_id, role, is_admin. Also now when trying to User::create (new user) or update like below snip-it - no luck again (core-dump)

public function update(AUser $user)
{
    $dbUser = $this->byId( new UserId($user->user_id()) );

    $dbRole = Role::find($user->user_id());
    $dbRole->fill([
        'user_id' => $user->user_id(),
        'role' => $user->role(),
        'is_admin' => $user->is_admin()
    ]);

    $dbUser->fill([
        'name' => $user->name(),
        'password' => bcrypt($user->password()),
        'email' => $user->email()
    ]);
    $dbUser->save();
}

Steps To Reproduce:

• Add some fields to the User table
• Try to use your 'own' User::create or User::update procedure (instead of the in-build version)

Segmentation faults are often caused by endless recursive calls. You could try and pinpoint the location/pattern with xdebug's xdebug.max_nesting_level.

[KKSzymanowski]

To continue what Simon said, segmentation faults are very rarely caused by Laravel itself.

Try running it with a different version of PHP or through console(php artisan tinker).

As for nesting level, I think PHP would throw an error saying something like Maximum nesting level of 100 exceeded, I never got a segfault from that. Try disabling xDebug if you have it enabled in your php.ini and check again.

Please upgrade to Laravel 5.3, your version of Laravel is not supported anymore.

Closing this, feel free to ping me in case you could regenerate the issue on a 5.3 instance, I also suggest that you post your question on the forums, we try to keep this repo for bug reporting only.
