From: otacon at octo dot sytes dot net Operating system: FreeBSD 4.8 PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: php.ini settings override php-cli.ini settings
Description: ------------ Let me just emphasize now that this is not a bug, just an example leading into a change request. Example Scenario: When fgets(STDIN, [int]) is called in a PHP (CLI) shell script, the script will not display previous output if the output buffer has not been filled. The user is then left at a prompt, and the script pauses, expecting input. This can be avoided by setting the "output_buffering = 0" in php.ini, or by adding ob_flush_implicit(true) to your script and adding ob_flush() before every call to STDIN. Change Request: The second method makes for messy scripts. The first method completely solves this, but only by editing php.ini because output_buffering() may not be changed on-the-fly with ini_set(). Because the manipulated variable, "output_buffering = ...", affects both environments, I am suggesting allowing an option for php-cli.ini to override settings in php.ini. php-cli.ini, in my php configuration directory, is parsed as an additional file, but the values from php-cli.ini are overrided by the values in php.ini. There is no independence of the CLI and webserver environment, each of which is unique (static vs. dynamic). So, in this case, I would not be able to choose output_buffering enabled for webserver, and disabled for CLI. Another instance of this problem arising could be in PHP-Gtk, yet another dynamic user-interface involved in PHP development. If it is at all possible to do this with PHP-4.3.2, (other than using the redundant ob_flush() method), please inform me.
