note 31463 added to ref.outcontrol

I had written a script that assembled different template components into a web page. It looked something like this. <?php ob_start(); require ("template_part_1.php"); require ("template_part_2.php"); eval (template_part_3); require ("template_part_3.php"); ob_end_flush(); ?> Under PHP 4.0.6 this ran just fine. After upgrading to 4.2.3 however, I started getting an odd error which was consistant across both IE and Mozilla. The last tag on the output page (e.g., </html> was getting split into two parts with the last few characters of the tag being pre-pended to the front of the output like so: html><html> {web code) </ As you might imagine, this created problems for my page display. This problem occured only the first time anyone loaded a page - the moment the page was refreshed the problem went away. After much head banging I was able to suppress the error by placing the ob_end_clean() function just before the ob_start() function as though there was a buffer that needed to be killed before the buffer I was starting up with ob_start could function properly. I'm not sure why this worked, but if anyone else is having this problem, this seems to be how to deal with it. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31463 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31463 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31463
