note 124191 added to function.fastcgi-finish-request

Here goes a workaround if you can't use fast cgi. You'll need to replace echo with puts function everywhere: <?php function puts(){ static $init = false; $numargs = func_num_args(); $arg_list = func_get_args(); $string = ''; if($numargs === 0) return; else if($numargs > 1) $string = implode('', $arg_list); else $string = $arg_list[0]; if($init === false) { // buffer all upcoming output - make sure we care about compression: if(ob_start("ob_gzhandler")){ connsettings('compression', true); echo 'Yes compression'; }else{ ob_start(); echo 'No compression<br>'; } $init = true; register_shutdown_function('puts', null, true); } echo $string; } function connsettings(/*$name, (optional)$val=$arg_list[1]*/){ static $settings= array(); $numargs = func_num_args(); $arg_list = func_get_args(); $name = $arg_list[0]; if($numargs === 1) return $settings[$name] ?? null; $oldVal = $settings[$name] ?? null; $settings[$name]= $arg_list[1]; return $oldVal; }; function connection_close(){ if(!headers_sent())//it may work without this verification when no compression but may lead to uncomplete data { set_time_limit(0); ignore_user_abort(true); // send headers to tell the browser to close the connection ob_end_flush(); // Order here matter, it won't work if it goes after Content-Length if(connsettings('compression') === false) header("Content-Encoding: none"); header('Content-Length: ' . ob_get_length()); header('Connection: close'); // flush all output if(ob_get_level() > 0) ob_flush(); flush(); } } //Usage puts('Whatever you want to print...<br>'); puts('Some more<br>'); connection_close(); puts("It's never gonna be seen<br>"); echo 'Neither this'; ?> ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 82.199.157.54 (proxied: 179.178.65.52) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.fastcgi-finish-request.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124191 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124191/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124191/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124191/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124191/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124191/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124191/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124191 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124191 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
