Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-05 15:00:49] vrana@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. You can't even call functions using the output buffering functions like print_r($expression, true) or highlight_file($filename, true) from a callback function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-18 16:56:38] tony2001@php.net That's docu problem. var_export cannot be used in output buffering handlers and that should clarified in the docs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-11 07:56:34] clover at fromru dot com Description: ------------ i'm using ob_start() with a callback function; internally in it i use $res=var_export($var, TRUE) function but got an error: [11-Feb-2005 08:28:15] PHP Fatal error: var_export() [<a href='ref.outcontrol'>ref.outcontrol</a>]: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in E:\htdocs\index.php on line XXX Reproduce code: --------------- <?php ob_start("my_shutdown_function"); function my_shutdown_function($buffer){ $var=headers_list(); $res=var_export($var, TRUE); return($res); } print("something..."); ?> Expected result: ---------------- the "dump" of all sent headers instead of string "something..." Actual result: -------------- "PHP Fatal error..." Comment: this error actually must be when i call var_dump() or var_export($var, FALSE) in output buffering handler. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31929&edit=1
