Updated ob_start() function output_callback parameter description to refer to PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_* constants collectively. Removed empty PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_* constants from reserved.constants.core. Closes bug #62261. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-08 08:25:39] casper at langemeijer dot eu Description: ------------ In my investigations on bug #61272 I found that since the output buffering rewrite in PHP 5.4 the flags passed to the second parameter of the callback passed to ob_start() have changed. See the test in tests/output/ob_017.phpt and run the new test on PHP 5.3. From the output I've discovered the following: (might not be complete) - PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CONT seems to have a new meaning. It use to signal: more is coming. Now it means: this is a continuation of something you've received before. - A new constant with value 8 seems to have been introduced. I don't know it's meaning, but I'm guessing it means output buffering will be ended after this call (ob_end_clean() causes a call to the callback with the 8 flag set) BTW: I think the new situation is better, but needs to be documented. Especially because this is a functional change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62261&edit=1
