Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71486&edit=1 ID: 71486 Updated by: mike@php.net Reported by: php at login dot hedim dot ch Summary: Output handler flags for ob_end_clean and ob_end_flush Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Output Control PHP Version: 5.6.17 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: See also #69404 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-09 15:28:02] mike@php.net Actually, PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE is only needed for ob_clean() because that's the only operation, that would leave the output handler alive instead of destroying and popping it off the stack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-01-30 15:56:54] php at login dot hedim dot ch Description: ------------ According to http://php.net/manual/en/function.ob-end-clean.php: The output buffer must be started by ob_start() with PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE and PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE flags. Otherwise ob_end_clean() will not work. However, ob_end_clean() seems to work with only PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE. According to http://php.net/manual/en/function.ob-end-flush.php: The output buffer must be started by ob_start() with PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FLUSHABLE and PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE flags. Otherwise ob_end_flush() will not work. However, ob_end_flush() seems to work with only PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE. The test script below shows the problem with ob_end_clean(). To see the problem with ob_end_flush(), simply replace ob_end_clean() with ob_end_flush(). Test script: --------------- ob_start(null, 0, PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE); echo "1"; ob_end_clean(); echo "2"; Expected result: ---------------- A notice from ob_end_clean() and output "12" Actual result: -------------- Output "2" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71486&edit=1
