PHP 4.0 Bug #9031 Updated: ob_gzhandler memory leak and Headers already sent message!

ID: 9031 User Update by: aboldt@boldtconsult.com Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Output Control Description: ob_gzhandler memory leak and Headers already sent message! The headers already sent message with ob_gzhandler enabled problem is solved. However, the lynx -head problem is still there. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-20 06:40:13] thies@php.net both problems are fixed in CVS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-19 23:02:20] andre@php.net similar Bug id #9231 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-06 15:33:49] aboldt@boldtconsult.com I've just found out what the problem is, and it's kind of weird: With ob_gzhandler enabled (from php.ini or with ob_start("ob_gzhandler") in the .php) each readfile() makes the "Cannot add header information - headers already sent" error message appear. This doesn't happen with output buffering enabled and no ob_gzhandler, it only happens with ob_gzhandler enabled. Also tried to replace readfile with fpassthru(fopen()) but got the same result. Hope this helps you fix the problem. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I've been experimenting quite a lot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-02 09:23:24] aboldt@boldtconsult.com Tried the php4-200102020545 snapshot and I still get the httpd: PHP Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent in Unknown on line 0 error message when enabling output_handler = ob_gzhandler. This probably still causes a memory leak. Found another interesting thing: when trying to see the headers of a ob_gzhandler compressed page with lynx, I get the following lynx error message: Can't access startfile http://localhost/test.php That's using lynx -head -source http://localhost/test.php. Seems lynx sees something which it doesn't like. With ob_gzhandler disabled, I get the normal http headers when invoking that lynx command. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-01 20:03:32] sniper@php.net This should be fixed in CVS now. Please try the latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ and reopen this bug report if problem still exists when using it. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
