PHP 4.0 Bug #9212 Updated: fpassthru ignoring output buffering

ID: 9212 User Update by: ctuffli@yahoo.com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Description: fpassthru ignoring output buffering Actually, fpassthru seems to partial support the output buffering as placing it between ob_start / ob_end_clean generates no output. ob_get_contents() placed after the fpassthru correctly returns the output fpassthru would have generated. My concern here was that fpassthru seems to be generating a header (headers_sent() returns true) even though the rest of the output is being correctly buffered. Is the buffering happening by a happy accident? Is there a list of functions that work (or don't work) with output buffering? Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-11 11:17:15] derick@php.net passtru doesn't use the output buffering functions. It's not meant to be, so changing to Feature request. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-11 11:06:21] ctuffli@yahoo.com When fpassthru() is used within an ob_start / ob_end_clean block, a subsequent call to header() fails because headers have already been sent. The following script reproduces the problem: <?php $fd = fopen(__FILE__, "r"); ob_start(); fpassthru($fd); ob_end_clean(); header("X-Test: fpassthru already sent headers"); ?> Ran as cgi (ie 'php head.php'), but the apache module exhibits the same problem. This problem may be similar to bug #8807 ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/apxs --enable-versioning --with-mysql --enable-track-vars no php.ini is used --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9212
