#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: It's the development version (== not released) of upcoming PHP 5.2.7. Anyway, if you can't reproduce this problem on some other machine, it's clearly some isolated problem in your server, in other words: bogus. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-08 03:23:29] aren at cambre dot biz Before I do this, is http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip a stable release? Or is this experimental? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-24 00:43:04] jani@php.net 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.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
