This is not the case. If this is indeed the correct behavior, please update the documentation to reflect that and add an example such as the following: ob_implicit_flush(true); while (@ob_end_flush()); Reproduce code: --------------- ob_start(); ob_implicit_flush(true); var_dump(ob_end_flush()); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36383&edit=1
