P.S. I found something related Request #23877 "ob_implicit_flush does not work".

Damn, a 10 years bug/request again... Rasmus I think is time to upgrade the team not the
documentation :D. Just joking..

But seriously guys, you cannot allow to happend thinks like this, I perfectly understand is a lot of
work sometimes but 10 years... is something.. too much

I remember times when some of my clients calls me at midnight to fix their sites... what a happy
days..

Description:
------------
I write this like a Request but I think is more a bug. According to documentation of ob_start:
"While output buffering is active no output is sent from the script (other than headers),
instead the output is stored in an internal buffer." but is not true.
implicit_flush = Off or ob_implicit_flush( false ) are also useless.
Or change the documentation or change the function behaviour to act according to the documentation.
When somebody active the buffering it expect to see the blank page until explicit call some flush
functions right ? At least this said the docs.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
ob_start( );
echo 'Blah';


Expected result:
----------------
empty page

Actual result:
--------------
Blah <<< This should never shown
