There's a second level of buffering after the ob_ buffering. What is your implicit_flush setting? Please also refer to http://www.php.net/flush Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-30 08:02:09] sthomas at townnews dot com So... did you read the report at all? Did you see the part where I quoted the PHP documentation? Let me do it again: "Turning implicit flushing on will disable output buffering, the output buffers current output will be sent as if ob_end_flush() had been called." Therefore, according to this, calling ob_implicit_flush *IMPLIES A CALL TO OB_END_FLUSH*! What part of YOUR OWN DOCUMENTATION do you not understand? Either the documentation is wrong, or PHP is wrong. Whichever it is, fix it so there's at least some consistancy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-29 21:07:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You should've used ob_end_flush(); instead of ob_implicit_flush();. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-29 15:51:03] sthomas at townnews dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23877&edit=1
