Ok, thx...it seems, it was a missunderstanding while reading the manual
(http://reklov.homeip.net/manual/PHP/function.ob-get-flush.html):

ob_get_flush --  Flush the output buffer, return it as a string and
turn off output buffering 



--- i understood it this way: flush the output into a string an turn
off...

instead of flush (understood as delete) the output, send it and return
to a string and turn off...

perhaps this happened, because of my not very well english (i guess,
you have already noticed that...)



Thx for the answer

Description:

On the contrary to the tip in the documentation
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php), there's no chance
to stop var_dump() from outputting. Although you can save it with
output buffering into a string, it will be sent to output, anyway...

As you can see in the example, the var_dump()-output is sent to output
twice, first from var_dump(9), second from echo $output.

Reproduce code:
---
pre

?php

$a = 'Output';

echo 'Output from var_dump():'.\n;

ob_start();

var_dump($a);

$output = ob_get_flush();

echo 'Same as above: '.\n.$output;

?

/pre

Expected result:

pre

Output from var_dump():



Same as above: 

string(6) Output

/pre

Actual result:
--
pre

Output from var_dump():

string(6) Output

Same as above: 

string(6) Output

/pre

#26980 [NEW]: Array creation with '{}' instead of '[]'

[reklov at unitedklasens dot de]

From: reklov at unitedklasens dot de
Operating system: Win98SE
PHP version:  4.3.4
PHP Bug Type: Arrays related
Bug description:  Array creation with '{}' instead of '[]'

Description:

With $var{$i} = 'Test' I wanted to create a variable with the name 'var1',
using the '{}' and $i == 1, like ${$a}
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php)
Insted of this, it will create an array, as if I had used '[]' instead of
'{}'.

Reproduce code:
---
?php
$i = 1;
$var{$i} = 'Test';
echo $var{$i};
echo 'br';
echo $var{1};
echo 'br';
echo $var1;
?

Expected result:

Testbr
Testbr  //not sure, what would happen...
Test

Actual result:
--
Testbr
Testbr
