#18817 [NEW]: ob_implicit_flush does not work in CLI SAPI, especially annoying in "go-pear"

From: slarty2@ntlworld.com Operating system: Mandrake Linux 8.2 Kernel 2.4.18 PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: ob_implicit_flush does not work in CLI SAPI, especially annoying in "go-pear" In the "go-pear" auto-installation script, which is an interactive program using console I/O, several attempts are made to turn off output buffering, but none of them succeeds. It does (in this order) ob_implicit_flush(true); ini_set('implicit_flush', true); But the output STILL does not get flushed. Because it relies on this behaviour in order to work, I cannot proceed. The script which produces this error is (at the time of writing) at http://pear.php.net/go-pear There are some other bug reports which are similar but they all seem to be related to other SAPIs. I configured PHP with ./configure --prefix=/home/mark/apache/php --with-apxs=/home/mark/apache/bin/apxs --enable-cli --with-zlib To build the Apache and CLI SAPIs. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18817&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18817&r=globals
