Bug #16982: starting session turns of some sort of output-buffering

From: thomas@youngarts.org Operating system: FreeBSD 4.4 PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: starting session turns of some sort of output-buffering As said in the summary, starting a session turns on some strange output-buffering, wich cannot be overrided per flush(). This happens since 4.2.0 and is still in the latest snapshot, until 4.1.2 it was okay. Sample-Scipt: <?php session_start(); session_write_close(); set_time_limit (0); $i = 0; for(;;) { $time = time(); $newtime = date("H:i:s", $time); printf("($newtime) - $i <br>"); $i++; flush(); usleep(200000); } ?> To me, this is VERY important, because it makes session-based webchats nearly unusuable. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16982&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16982&r=submittedtwice
