Greetings, i too have ob flushing turned on in php.ini yet i have a
situation where i need to disable output buffering only for this
script, after reading this page and trying a few things i have actually
managed to do it, so i'm posting hopefully to help others trying to get
their pages to have output buffering off even though its on in php.ini.
I got it working using the .httpd.conf method...
Firstly: edit httpd.conf and change .htaccess Allow Override setting to
All (or specific) then restart apache.
now, in the folder the script is in add .htaccess file
in there put
PHP_FLAG output_buffering Off
then make a script: eg:
<?php
echo "INI:".ini_get('output_buffering')."<BR>";
ob_end_flush();
for($x=0; $x<5; $x++){
echo "X:$x <BR>\n";
flush();
sleep(1);
}
echo "\n<BR>done";
?>
hit the page, you should see it appear line by line

I found a solution:
set output_buffering = 0 in php.ini
then ob_implicit_flush() does its work as it's assumed.
//using Internet Explorer 6.0
Interesting?

I've met the same problem as norny under apache1.3.20/php4.3.1(cli)
I read throughly through the list, and felt that the ob_implicit_flush
question was not clearly responsed.
//maybe I'm wrong.
I need to let ob_implicit_flush do its work as its statement in the
manual or other requirements needed to let it work properly.

As of PHP 4.3.0 you can use an alternative php.ini named:
php-{sapi}.ini, where {sapi} is the name of the sapi you are using.
So, for the cli, php will look for php-cli.ini before it tries
php.ini.
For cgi it will look for php-cgi.ini etc.

We don't seem to be communicating very well. I've been wanting to shut
off buffering this whole time. Your suggestion to not buffer if I don't
need it is just telling me what I already want to do. I've been trying
to use the functions documented in the manual that are supposed to shut
it off, but they have a big "Won't fix" label on them in the bug
database.
How about if I word it differently. I want the default buffer handling
set in php.ini for my webpage output, but I don't want buffers for my
command line scripts. I want those to output something to STDOUT as
soon as it comes to a echo/print. If I don't use ob_end_flush,
ob_implicit_flush, or ini_set, then what should I use to turn off
buffering in my command line scripts.

And don't forget that some buffers should never be deleted once it's
started. The error message is raised, since some users don't know it
shouldn't.
