Unhandled win32 exception occurred in "php.exe" in command line

When I try to do anything with PHP in the command line, the command line crashes and throws an "unhandled win32 exception". However, my websites are executing PHP without errors.

When I debug using Visual Studio, the program breaks at this line in php.exe:

100E890C  mov         edx,dword ptr [edx+4]  

And the call stack is as follows:

>php5ts.dll!100e890c()  
[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symb开发者_StackOverflowols loaded for php5ts.dll]    
msvcrt.dll!761eade8()   
msvcrt.dll!761ec470()   
msvcrt.dll!761ef637()   
php.exe!00402e5b()  
kernel32.dll!77211194()     
ntdll.dll!7799b429()    
ntdll.dll!7799b3fc()    

I need to be able to work with PHP in the command line for installing PEAR extensions and for CakePHP functions. However, I don't know how to fix this problem...

Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Upgrade your PHP to the latest version and try again. Looks like a bug in php itself.
