Bug #15589 Updated: include() output order is weird

ID: 15589 Updated by: webmaster@rosenkeller.org Reported By: webmaster@rosenkeller.org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux (SuSE 7.0) PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Hi, this actually _is_ a bug :-) The minimalistic case: you have 2 files: #a.php <?php session_start();?>123<!-- hello --> #b.php <?php include("a.php"); session_destroy(); ?>456 The output should be "123<!-- hello -->456", right? But it is "123<!456 -- hello -->". The same thing happens when using require(). When leaving out the session_destroy() or putting it at the very end of b.php, everything works as expected. Please check this if you can.

Now I have a problem in one of these pages (the other ones seem to work): the output from the included file is not completely output before the "including" script continues; instead, I have something like this: ### output from include() ### rest of the "including" file ### output from include() (remaining portion). In short, the last thing the included file should output is "</table>". But I get everything until "</", then the output from the including file, then "table>". In "long": I have put the concerned scripts at https://members.rosenkeller.org/phpbug/ The file "logout.php" includes "session.php". The corresponding "logout-src.php" and "session-src.php" simply show the source code of the respective file; I have also included phpinfo.php which shows the results of phpinfo(). If you have a look at the HTML source that output.php produces, you should see what I mean (the "warning: undefined variable" is normal, because there is no session). I think that this is a bug; if I overlooked something instead (maybe some configuration option?) I'd be pleased to hear what it is... Thank you in advance, and keep the great work up! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15589&edit=1
