#44495 [NEW]: Documentation needs clarification

From: dlo at ign dot com Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Documentation needs clarification Description: ------------ The current documentation for ob_get_flush, could be improved. Current: ob_get_flush() flushes the output buffer, return it as a string and turns off output buffering. This would be better: ob_get_flush() flushes the output buffer to STDOUT?, returns the contents of the buffer as a string, and turns off output buffering. The existing documentation lead me to believe that that it flushed any remaining characters buffer held by ob_start(). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44495&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44495&r=mysqlcfg
