RE: [PHP-WEBMASTER] Output_buffering directive

Sorry about the formatting of the last email. ;) On = Enabled and buffer is unlimited. (Use with caution) >>> will probably result in a white screen of death Off = Disabled Integer = Enables the buffer and sets its maximum size in bytes >>> an integer setting allows you to control this directive using a numeric value to avoid "blah" Edward Alexander Owner / Coder AIT-pro (805) 651-8516 Skype aitpro_edward http://www.ait-pro.com BulletProof Security Pro Support ************************************************************************* This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.

My original email was phrased terribly and sent the wrong message entirely. This is what I meant to say. And the only purpose for bringing this up is I thought maybe an additional bit of help documentation would save someone else from doing something dumb like set output_buffering = On without fully understanding what this really meant. ;) What i was trying to get at is that using just "On" is almost guaranteeing that you are going to have a problem. ;) On = Enabled and buffer is unlimited. (Use with caution) >>> will probably result in a white screen of death Off = Disabled Integer = Enables the buffer and sets its maximum size in bytes >>> an integer setting allows you to control this directive using a numeric value to avoid "blah" Paul sent me this info below, which I played around with, but did not have much success with. Anyway for my uses I would never be setting output_buffering to On. I was merely documenting all the possible errors that would occur if someone actually did do this. I have a plugin that allows users to edit their php.ini files so I was just looking ahead at the possible mistakes. ""On" is still a valid value and not always likely you'll hit the timeout limit of a white page. When you use output buffered pages, you should still have a sane max_execution_time() value on your script to make sure it doesn't tick away forever. Thanks. - Paul."
