Can someone explain output_buffering to me?  I looked on php.net -- but
cannot find reference to it -- it's a setting in the PHP.INI file.

In my *production* .ini version, the output_buffering tag is set to 4096
(4k) -- what exactly is the intent of this tag?

What brought this question up was when I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1, and
this time decided to use the production level .ini file -- when I ran a
script from my command line -- no output was appearing -- that is, I have
print() functions throughout my looping script -- and it wasn't
outputting -- I set the output_buffering tag to equal 0 -- and my looping
script now displays the text I want it to.

Is it that when a script exits or terminates that this 4k buffer gets
flushed out (in this case) to my screen?

What additional processing occurs if this tag is set to off, or 0 (zero) ?

Thanks
Jason
