Re: output buffering

That has nothing to do with that - you seemed to recode major parts of the output buffering mechanism, whereas adding chunk support shouldn't be more than changing 20-30 lines in the code. I don't agree that only chunked buffering makes sense - in the vast majority of cases, full output buffering would be fine. With very large output, chunked buffering is probably better.

I'm a perfectionist ;) That's why. Only chunked buffering makes sense if one uses it with a handler (performance wise). -Jade.

The question is why :) Buffering blocks, and invoking handler functions every time the buffer gets full (instead of resizing it) makes sense, and is something I've been meaning to do at some point or another. But it really doesn't require the huge rewrite you've made... So, I go to back to the original question - why? :) Zeev At 16:03 21-11-00, Jade Nicoletti wrote:

I'm not happy with the output buffering as it is now. There should be a possibilty to just buffer blockwise. I've tryed to implement it, but my knowledge about zend internals/macros (at it's current stage) isn't sufficient. I appended my work, so that you can look at it and if you think it's a

good

thing, you can fix it and integrate it. I wannted to do my work on the output compression handler on better base, that's way I've first tried to do this stuff. Current handler API:

        ob_start(string handler);
        string handler(string entire_output);

Proposed new handler API:

        ob_start(string handler [, int flags]); # flags: 1 -> blockwise..
        string handler(string chunk [, int flags]);  # flgs: 1 -> not

last chunk I hope you got it :) -Jade. PS: feel free to ask your questions :) -- =======================================================================
