note 70835 added to function.ini-set

Be careful with setting an output_handler, as you can't use ini_set() to change it. *sigh* In my php.ini I have this for my web pages (and I want it): output_handler = ob_gzhandler But this causes my command line scripts to not show output until the very end. #!/usr/bin/php -q <?php ini_set('output_handler', 'mb_output_handler'); echo "\noutput_handler => " . ini_get('output_handler') . "\n"; ?> root@# ./myscript.php output_handler => ob_gzhandler Apparently (acording to Richard Lynch): > TOO LATE! > The ob_start() has already kicked in by this point. > ob_flush() until there are no more buffers. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 64.81.162.33 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70835 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70835/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70835/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70835/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70835/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70835/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70835/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70835 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70835 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
