#32870 [NEW]: Setting "output_handler" does not work with custom functions

From: ng4rrjanbiah at rediffmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: Setting "output_handler" does not work with custom functions Description: ------------ Setting output_handler (either through php.ini our .htaccess) does not work with custom functions. It works for "ob_gzhandler" but *not* on any custom functions--say "foo". There was a detail discussion on c.l.php about this http://groups.google.com/groups?as_umsgid=1114004547.490393.294850@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com Though we could set custom callback functions through ob_start(), we couldn't set output_handler (for custom functions) via php.ini. The manual also hints that it could be set PHP_INI_PERDIR basis http://in2.php.net/ref.outcontrol#AEN111555 Peace to you all PHP saints... -R. Rajesh Jeba Anbiah Reproduce code: --------------- in php.ini set: output_handler "foo_callback" in test.php: <?php function foo_callback($buffer) //callback defined { return $buffer; } print_r(ob_list_handlers()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- "foo_callback" to be listed Actual result: -------------- nothing.
