Yasuo, of course the code snippet I posted makes no obvious sense, it is after all only the shortest snippet of code that reproduces the segfault I encountered. I am currently working on an application that registers a callback via ob_start() and gets called this way with the whole output, which happens to be XML, of the rest of the script as its input data. In this callback, I use the ext/xml functions to parse this XML data. Now when, for instance, a parse error occurs, I need to emit an appropriate error messsage, hence I need to stop the output buffering and output something. And, at this point, it segfaults. I would rather see the possibility of calling ob_end_clean() in a ob_start() callback function than removing this feature. -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://phpOpenTracker.de/ Did I help you?
