note 57030 added to function.ob-flush

I was having problems with output buffering which seemed to be active by default on the server, although phpinfo said something else.. In any case I needed to know that when I ran ob_start, it would start at the top level, so I could use ob_flush as it's intended without having to call multiple ob_flush in-script - this is what I did: <?php // make sure output buffering is off before we start it // this will ensure same effect whether or not ob is enabled already while (ob_get_level()) { ob_end_flush(); } // start output buffering if (ob_get_length() === false) { ob_start(); } ?> Then I could call ob_flush(); followed by flush(); and get the output I wanted, which I didn't if I started the script with just ob_start(); This was on a windows apache 2 server with php 5.0.4 btw. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-flush.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57030 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57030&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57030&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57030&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57030&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57030&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57030&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57030&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57030&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
