Question

This is a bit of an oddity for me. PHP is my forte, and I can normally figure out any issue I encounter.

I have a custom framework that I have been using for years. I have taken it upon myself to rewrite it, and I’m doing everything essentially the same that I was before. The problem lies in the following construct:

function ModPages_GetPage() {
    $page = ModPages_GetPageByName($_GET['page_name']);
    if($page != false) {
        include(TPL_DIR.'pages/pages.view.php');
    } else {
        ErrorMessage('Invalid Page', 'The selected page could not be found.');
    }
}


function ModPages_GetPageByName($page_name = null) {
    $db = new Database;
    $query = '
        SELECT *
        FROM pages
        WHERE page_name = "'.CleanStr($page_name).'"
            AND page_enabled = "yes"
        LIMIT 1
        ';
    $page = $db->GetRow($query);

    return $page;
}

This code is being called with ‘home’ for the value of $_GET['page_name']. The call to ModPages_GetPageByName() is working fine, but the value of $page in ModPages_GetPage() isn’t getting set. Matter of fact, any debugging statements thrown in after that call are failing to display anything.

I have display_errors set to on, and error_reporting set to E_ALL. I get a couple notices from my Database class, but that’s it.

Running the script at a shell fails to produce any errors. When using strace, I do see the process spits out an ‘exit_group(255)’.

This one has me quite baffled. I could sure use some direction on this.

While some of you have put extra effort into responding to this, nobody has been able to see the full picture, even given the details I have provided. I have been unable to trace the issue back to its source, but have moved on to a different project.
