Re: Another output buffering oddity

You are using an undocumented feature of ouput.

        if (!$this->_started) {
            ob_start(
              array(
                $this, 'transform'
              )
            );

You set the output handler by passing an object and a method name in an array but this and arrays itself weren't officially supported by putput. I am working on that so please be patient: We can make that a documented feature and require array[object,string] where string is the name of the method to call. Another way would be to implement a special method named __output_handler(). The first would be easier to implement for both c and php. But it is no good idea since it is hard to understand... The latter conformes to other changes lately done. Implementing __output_handler would allow minimal changes since you would only need to pass the object to ob_start(). Also this solution would not require an additional change in internal API structures. regards marcus At 11:34 25.08.2002, Sebastian Bergmann wrote:

Just noticed that PEAR::XML::Transformer doesn't work with current HEAD, but works fine with PHP 4.2.3-RC1. This script

    <?php
    require_once 'XML/Transformer.php';

    $t = new XML_Transformer;

    $t->overloadElement(
      'bold',
      'startElementBold',
      'endElementBold'
    );

    $t->start();

    function startElementBold($attributes) {
      return '<b>';
    }

    function endElementBold($cdata) {
      return $cdata . '</b>';
    }
    ?>
    <bold>text</bold>

outputs

    <bold>text</bold>

instead of

    <b>text</b>
