#22690 [NEW]: problem using create_function() as output_callback argument to ob_start()

From: hightman at hightman dot net Operating system: FreeBSD PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: problem using create_function() as output_callback argument to ob_start() Test enviroment: apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.1 built as apache module The following two programs demonstrates the difference: <? $foo = create_function('$s', 'return strtoupper($s);'); ob_start($foo); echo $foo("Bar\n"); echo "Hello, the World!"; ?> Our expectation is that all characters was upper, Unfortunately, "Helo, the World!" was not changed. It seems that the $foo function had not been called. I have ever running with php 4.2.1, It works well. When I change a little about the source, it works well, too. <? function foo ($s) { return strtoupper($s); } $foo = "foo"; ob_start($foo); echo $foo("Bar\n"); echo "Hello, the World!"; ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22690&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22690&r=gnused
