note 41727 added to function.ob-gzhandler

I've noticed that ob_gzhandler appears to return the length of the buffer (in hex) and that this gets pre-pended to the output. Is there any way to trap this value (perhaps to use it in Content-length)? My code is basically: ob_start('ob_gzhandler') ...print various things to the buffer while (@ob_end_flush()) I get back a stream of data which starts with the size of the compressed file in hex, then a newline, then the compressed data, then another newline, then '0'. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41727 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41727&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41727&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
