#19584 [Com]: ob_implicit_flush may not be working

ID: 19584 Comment by: mat@genevus.com Reported By: mat@genevus.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Windows 2000 Advanced Server IIS PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I downloaded the CVS snapshot and set it up. -My php.ini is residing in c:\winnt, and when i upgraded to the latest version (4.2.3), i went line by line and made sure my php.ini wasn't missing anything from the new php.ini in 4.2.3 -My PATH environment variable has c:\php\dlls and c:\php\extensions in it, so i didn't copy anything to the winnt folders -For each time i tried a different version, i shut down my web server, rebooted, renamed c:\php to something like c:\php_4.1.2, then renamed the version i wanted (c:\php_4.2.3) to c:\php. Then I started up my web server -I use the same php folder structure as the original that came out of the ZIP file except i have an added sessiondata\path\for\session\data folder and uploadtemp, which I've duplicated throughout each installation: c:\php (currently the CVS version i downloaded) c:\php_4.1.2 c:\php_4.2.2 c:\php_4.2.3 -I created a file c:\test.php which contains: <? set_time_limit(0); ob_implicit_flush(); for(;;) { echo "hello\n"; sleep(2); } ?> Here are the results of running this file (in this case i didn't reboot or anything, i just ran php.exe right from the folder) http://www.genevus.com/download/php_4.1.2.gif http://www.genevus.com/download/php_4.2.2.gif http://www.genevus.com/download/php_4.2.3.gif http://www.genevus.com/download/php_cvs.gif Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 17:36:07] edink@php.net And try to disable output buffering in your php.ini. Maybe you have used php.ini-recommended after upgrading to 4.2.3? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 17:21:14] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip Also, make sure you really replace all the old php related files with the new ones found in the release package. (php4ts.dll being the most important) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 17:09:41] mat@genevus.com Now I can't get it working in 4.2.2 anymore Probably my configuration then... Always works with 4.1.2 though, so I'm not sure what to think anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 16:54:06] mat@genevus.com I have been running a looping script using php.exe from the command-line using 4.1.2 to run tasks I pull out of a database. I needed to use socket_set_timeout but my build of 4.1.2 didn't support it. I upgraded to 4.2.2 and my script worked, but socket_set_timeout wasn't supported in this one either. So I upgraded to 4.2.3 and now my script doesn't even output anything. ob_implicit_flush doesn't *seem* to be working. PHP doesn't echo anything, it just seems to be hanging in my loop. Will be easier to explain with a code example: set_time_limit(0); ob_implicit_flush(); for(;;) { echo "hello\n"; sleep(10); } This code works just fine in 4.1.2, same for 4.2.2. But not in 4.2.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19584&edit=1
