#45195 [NEW]: ob_start handler chunk behavior written wrong

From: sv4php at fmethod dot com Operating system: Win PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: ob_start handler chunk behavior written wrong Description: ------------ The documentation of ob_start says that if chunk size is specified, then the handler is called on the first newline in the output. This did not make sense since what if the output was binary and had no new lines chunking would not work at all, I tested and found that the handler instead "snaps" to the first boundary after an echo is performed. I.e. each echo operation is atomic, so if I had a chunk size 10 bytes, and I echo '123456', '123456', '123456', '123456'; then the handler will be called with 2 times, with 12 bytes each time, although there are no newlines in the output. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45195&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45195&r=mysqlcfg
