Re: Funny php://stdout behaviour

That was a known bug with an earlier release of PHP4 under high load, I think... Or maybe that was the one where turning the engine on/off in different domains was messing up?... Or maybe both conditions had to be true. Meanwhile, not sure how fopen() is involved. Maybe try whatever corresponds to stdout on your OS, be it "/dev/0" or "/dev/stdout" or whatever -- Just to see if you can duplicate it with the normal file-system stuff. And try the same thing with some other files/pages etc. One thing that occurs to me -- stdout starts off by being the browser, so it's kinda funky to open it -- You've already got it open... I *think* it really only makes sense to fopen() stdout from the command line. At least, I'm not clear on what it would mean to open it from a HTTP environment... -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
