#23264 [Opn->Fbk]: readfile with Apache2+PHP 4.3.1 generates unwanted "xx sec.<br>" text

ID: 23264 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: angelo at ispltd dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback -Bug Type: Output Control +Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: I can not reproduce this with apache2.0.45 + php 4.3.2-rc. Please provide a complete but short example script which can be used to reproduce it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-24 14:59:09] angelo at ispltd dot com I should have said "session-specific" not "user-specific" in my last comment. What I mean is that the message seems to be global in its scope, not showing time elapsed for a session for for some larger scope of the PHP process instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-24 14:57:18] angelo at ispltd dot com I downloaded the latest snapshot (200304241730) and installed it. No improvement; problem still exists. I tried this: header("Content-type: text/plain"); echo "test"; and it opens in the Linux Advanced Editor, showing the same "xx sec.<br>" message at the top of the file; after 60 seconds the counter resets. My client tried accessing the document on two different computers and found the same situation exists, so it's not a user-specific problem. Could there be some debugging code that got left somewhere? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-23 00:18:53] sniper@php.net No feedback was provided.

Now my app which was working does not, and I can't figure out why. The code generating output is simply this: header("Content-type: application/pdf"); $bytes = @readfile($fulldoc); Those two lines are back-to-back, and the "header" has to be first or I would get an error, so I know there's nothing else in the output stream. With Mozilla there are no problems, but with MSIE the PDF document will load once then on subsequent reloads it displays "### sec.<br>" ("###" being an integer) before file's actual content. This causes MSIE to display the unformatted (raw) content of the PDF file. Apparently this is showing the number of seconds for something? If I keep clicking back-arrow then reload the PDF file, the number of seconds keeps increasing. Once 60 seconds has elapsed since the first load, it again loads properly. So I can go back-and-forth (back-arrow, click the document, back-arrow, click the document) and watch the seconds rise, then it reaches 60 and the document again displays properly using Acrobat. I've tried readfile() with "@" and with & without assigning result to a variable; no difference. I am running a mostly "stock" PHP.INI file copied from the "recommended" distribution file -- I just changed "safe_mode" to and "expose_php" to "Off" and "register_globals" to "On". My configure line is as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr/share --datadir=/usr/share/php --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/share --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php/bin --with-mysql=/usr --with-gd=yes --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-gd-imgstrttf --with-tiff-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-zlib=yes --with-bz2 --with-gmp --with-xml --with-ttf --with-t1lib --with-mcal=/usr --with-imap=yes --with-sablot --with-readline --with-ftp --with-ndbm --with-gdbm --with-mcrypt --with-gettext --with-mm --with-gd=yes --enable-versioning --enable-yp --enable-bcmath --enable-trans-sid --enable-inline-optimization --enable-track-vars --enable-magic-quotes --enable-safe-mode --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-calendar --enable-ftp --enable-memory-limit --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-openssl --with-curl --with-imap-ssl --with-gd=yes --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-snmp --disable-ipv6 --with-pear Thank you in advance for any help in solving this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23264&edit=1
