#34071 [Opn->Fbk]: buffering is destroyed when using ob_gzhandler and ob_clean

ID: 34071 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: dennis at nocertainty dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Windows XP SP2 PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-08-10 (dev) New Comment: Are you sure there is nothing shown in the "View Source" tab? I'm almost sure your browser just hides binary output from you. So try this: telnet localhost 80 GET /script.php HTTP/1.0 <Enter> <Enter> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-10 18:50:14] dennis at nocertainty dot com Yes, that works. But as soon as I use ob_gzhandler, instead of foo, nothing is displayed. I run PHP4 and PHP5 at the same time (port 80 is PHP4.3.4, port 83 is PHP5Dev). Could it be that the bug is caused by my PHP4 installation? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-10 18:39:16] tony2001@php.net Still can't reproduce, even with FCGI. Does this work for you: <?php function foo($data) { return $data; } ob_start('foo'); echo 'Should NOT be shown'; ob_clean(); echo 'Should be shown'; ?> ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-10 18:19:53] dennis at nocertainty dot com It works with PHP CLI. SAPI: cgi-fcgi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-10 18:14:58] tony2001@php.net Can't reproduce. Please try with PHP CLI and tell what SAPI you're using. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-10 18:08:20] dennis at nocertainty dot com Description: ------------ When using ob_start('ob_gzhandler') and ob_clean() the output buffer is destroyed, and no ob_* function works anymore. It seems that PHP4 had this problem as well (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29125) Reproduce code: --------------- <?php ob_start('ob_gzhandler'); echo 'Should NOT be shown'; ob_clean(); echo 'Should be shown'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- "Should be shown" should've been printed, instead nothing is returned, and nothing displays anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34071&edit=1
