New Comment:

I've got exactly the same problem with the same setup. my fd limit has
been 256 for ages and I never had this problem with any php version
before 4.3.2

Besides none of my scripts use more than 10 fd at a time. How many does
PHP opens for its own use? how many does Apache do?

It seems to me that 256 is already quite high

What is your open files limit set to?

Do 'ulimit -a' from a shell -- chances are it's set to
256. Try increasing that to 1024 by opening up /etc/system
as root and making changes to rlim_fd_cur and rlim_fd_max.
Just don't go higher than 1024.

You'll have to reboot your server (the actual machine, not
just the web server) for the changes to take effect.

See 'man -s 4 system' for details.

Description:
------------
I am getting a "failed to open stream: Too many open files in Unknown
on line 0" error message.

I check similar bug reports but none seemed to apply. I already am
running 4.3.3 where this error was supposed to be fixed.

My config is Solaris 8, Apache 2.0.44, PHP 4.3.3.

My page pulls some simple snmp data and I have a META refresh tag at
the top that refreshes the page every 30 seconds. 99% of the time the
page is ok. Every now and then the error below shows. It goes away on
its own usually by the next refresh.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Unknown(/isp/www/pntsi/stats/snmp.php): failed to open stream:
Too many open files in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/isp/www/pntsi/stats/snmp.php' for
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in Unknown on line
0
