Re: Re: #18824 [NEW]: PHP should produce an appropriate status code when an error is encountered

Buffering should be transparent and should not have a different http status code from a non-buffered. -Rasmus On Fri, 9 Aug 2002, Troels Arvin wrote: > On Fri, 09 Aug 2002 08:09:34 +0200, Bugs Php Net wrote: > > > Please modify PHP to generate appropriate status codes. > > I totally agree.
