note 68741 added to function.readfile

We've just run into a problem where certain PDF files are only partially printed when readfile() is being used inside a buffer. To fix this, you need to add an @ob_flush() after the call to readfile(), eg. <?php ob_start(); readfile('example.file'); // use @ to hide 'nothing to flush' errors @ob_flush(); $content = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); ?> ---- Server IP: 203.202.10.60 Probable Submitter: 60.227.178.243 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/68741 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68741/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68741/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68741/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68741/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68741/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68741/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68741 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/68741 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
