Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64977&edit=1 ID: 64977 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: rewilliams at newtekemail dot com Summary: ob_start() fails when passed default parameters Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: 5.5.0RC2 Assigned To: aharvey Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: OK, documentation is done except for the PHP_OUTPUT_BUFFER_STARTED and PHP_OUTPUT_BUFFER_DISABLED constants, mostly because I can't figure out how they're useful. Mike, help please? :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-01 18:35:20] aharvey@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of aharvey Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=331632 Log: Document the ob_start() changes in PHP 5.4. Mostly fixes doc bug #64977 (ob_start() fails when passed default parameters). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-27 18:44:22] aharvey@php.net We probably should have picked that up at the time. Whoops. OK, I'll assign this to myself and figure out how to document it. Probably won't be today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-27 08:05:06] mike@php.net Duh, unfortunately pretty much the opposite: bool(true) -> int(1) & ~0xf == 0 The first bits are reserved for the OB handler type (internal/user) and thus ignored, so flags end up as zero, which in turn means the handler is neither removeable, nor flushable, nor cleanable. I suspect, I could have done better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-26 21:23:31] aharvey@php.net Mike, what happens if you pass true as the "flags" parameter in 5.4+? It looks easier to ask you than figure out the code paths, honestly, and we need to cover the BC story somehow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-26 21:21:44] aharvey@php.net Related To: Bug #62796 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
