Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-18 15:27:31] yves@unclassified.de I wanted to process the output buffer by myself first to 'tidy up' HTML/JavaScript code a bit and then use the gzip-compression for a faster transfer. I used this demo script to test this: <?php function my_ob_handler($x) { # this normally tidies html code.... return strtoupper($x); } function proc_out($x) { return ob_gzhandler(my_ob_handler($x)); #return my_ob_handler($x); } if (ob_get_length() === false) { #ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ob_start("proc_out"); } ?> abcABCabc12345 . When I only set "ob_gzhandler" as output handler, it works and I see the text. When I use "proc_out" and don't call "ob_gzhandler" by myself, it also works. But when I want to use both handlers in queue, I get nothing at all. My provider uses PHP 4.1.1 and I can't upgrade it! I have PHP 4.2.1 at home but with no zlib support to test this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18420&edit=1
