Bug description: ob_implicit_flush does not work
Please note that the manual says this:
"Turning implicit flushing on will disable output buffering, the output
buffers current output will be sent as if ob_end_flush() had been
called."
Now, I've set output_buffering = 0 in my php.ini script, so supposedly
ob_implicit_flush will flush any buffers started by the script itself, and
continue flushing output thereafter. Try this:
<?PHP
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(1);
while(1)
{
print "Hi!";
sleep(1);
}
?>
This script will not output "Hi!" after each iteration through the loop.
Supposedly the documented behavior of ob_implicit_flush is to flush all
output buffers once it's called, and disable output buffering for further
statements that produce output (print, etc.)
So either the documentation is wrong, or there's a bug in
ob_implicit_flush. You decide.
