Changing it during the script is causing undefined behaviour since PHP started out believing that it is to apply the url rewriting but then suddenly finds that it isn't anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-03 08:44:49] mail@jpschober.de I have problems with this bug too ... same scrambled output. But only when the session is not cookie-based. Otherwise it works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-27 05:20:49] miroslav.spanel@cad-programs.com On Windows platforms (windows2000/php4.1.1 - isapi app on IIS 5.0) ini_set not workink properly too. Output is also scrambled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-24 15:14:18] fischer@ms-net.de I fix this Problem now by reading the incorrect output into a output-buffer using ob_get_contents and tweak it with preg_replace, duh! Works, but is, ehh, not very smart #-) But, surprise surprise, i then come over the error described in PHP-Bug #14080(which is still not fixed in 4.1.1). funny, eh? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-11 04:36:17] fischer@ms-net.de The following Code shows some strange behaviour: <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0"> <tr> <td class="grossfett" valign="top" align="left">Galerie</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap> <?php ini_set("session.use_trans_sid","0"); $cnt=0; $d = dir("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/3sonstiges/felgenveredelung/bp/galerie/thumbs/"); while($entry=$d->read()) { [...snipped some echo "blabla";lines] } $d->close(); ini_set("session.use_trans_sid","1"); ?> </td> </tr> </table> The following Output is produced: <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0"> <tr> <td class="grossfett" valign="top" align="left">Galerie</td> </tr> <tr> <td<a href ="javascript:;" onClick=window.open("bp/showpic.php?pic =1.jpg","hurz","location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0 ,toolbar=0,width=380,height=250");><img src="bp/galerie/thumbs/1.jpg" border="0"></a> [...snipped the list] valign="top" nowrap> </td> </tr> </table> watch the <td<a href [...] this should be <td valign="top" nowrap><a href [...] If i comment out the ini_set(); lines, output is normal. Any Idea? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14991&edit=1
