#45502 [Opn->Fbk]: Cannot disable output_buffering on Windows Server 2008

ID: 45502 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: aren at cambre dot biz -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Windows Server 2008 x64 PHP Version: 5.2.6 Assigned To: fb-req-jani New Comment: 1. Get http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip 2. Get rid of ALL (and I mean ALL) existing PHP dlls/exes from your machine. (AFTER stopping your webserver and anything else which might use them) 3. Install the fresh snapshot. 4. Make sure there are NO php*.ini files in your system. 5. Start your webserver. 6. Check phpinfo(). No php.ini file should have been loaded at this stage. And output_buffering should have 0 0 for the values. And PHP version is 5.2.7-dev.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-23 19:35:22] aren at cambre dot biz It says "output_buffering 4096 4096" regardless of how I have output_buffering set in php.ini. I tried all of the following: ;output_buffering = Off output_buffering = Off output_buffering = On output_buffering = 1234 This is the php.ini inside C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP. I have run Process Monitor to confirm that this is the only file named php.ini that is being accessed during PHP execution. I even reset IIS (iisreset.exe) (yes, while running cmd.exe in administrative mode), and that had no effect. I had left output_buffering = 1234, but phpinfo still shows 4096. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-23 14:06:59] jani@php.net Using this script: <?php phpinfo(); ?> What _exactly_ is on the full row in phpinfo() about output_buffering? If you do not set output_buffering at all in your php.ini it won't be enabled. (default value is 0 for it!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-23 13:46:47] aren at cambre dot biz phpinfo indicates output_buffering is 4096 regardless of how I have it set in php.ini. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-23 10:20:50] jani@php.net What exactly does phpinfo() say for this ini option? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-13 21:28:07] aren at cambre dot biz Description: ------------ I cannot disable output_buffering on Windows Server 2008. I have tried the following in the main php.ini: * output_buffering = Off * output_buffering = 0 * ;output_buffering = Off No matter what I do, output_bufferings stays stuck at 4096. I installed using the installer. I verified with the latest version of Sysinternals Process Monitor that the php.ini I am editing, c:\program files (x86)\php\php.ini is indeed the only php.ini file that is being opened by *any* process when I execute a php file. While I believe that they are separate issues, http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45501 is somewhat related. Expected result: ---------------- Output buffering should indicate as disabled or off for at least one of the variants that I put in php.ini per above. Actual result: -------------- Here's the top part of phpinfo: System Windows NT W2K8DCTR6401 6.0 build 6001 Build Date May 2 2008 18:01:20 Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--with-gd=shared" "--with-extra-includes=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDK\Include;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\INCLUDE;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE" "--with-extra-libs=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDK\Lib;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\LIB;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\MFC\LIB" Server API CGI/FastCGI Virtual Directory Support enabled Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows Loaded Configuration File C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.ini PHP API 20041225 PHP Extension 20060613 Zend Extension 220060519 Debug Build no Thread Safety enabled Zend Memory Manager enabled IPv6 Support enabled Registered PHP Streams php, file, data, http, ftp, compress.zlib Registered Stream Socket Transports tcp, udp Registered Stream Filters convert.iconv.*, string.rot13, string.toupper, string.tolower, string.strip_tags, convert.*, consumed, zlib.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45502&edit=1
