It is easy to make it actually flush output. Difficult part is make it
work always.

Some output buffers shouldn't be deleted and cannot be deleted. i.e.
Some browsers will freeze if server send malformed compressed output.
Thus ob_end_flush() wouldn't and shouldn't work in some cases. If it
works, it's a bug should be fixed.

Fix is simple, but you have to live with that.
If you are interested, search php-dev archive.

BTW, ob_implicit_flush() simply enable SAPI level auto flushing even if
its name imply PHP output buffer flushing. Don't blame me, I'm for
fixing it ;)

You can solve your problem by putting @ob_end_flush(); on top of your
command line scripts.

iliaa, I appreciate you trying to point me to help, but I still think
I'm right about this bug report. I've tried it on several machines with
each stable version of PHP since the report. Now still with 4.2.3 I'm
seeing the same thing. Again, I'm not using zlib output compression
cause I let mod_gzip do that in apache. This is for a php shell
script.

As you said, flush would send the output, but according to the
documentation, ob_implicit_flush() should result in a flush operation
after every output call, so that explicit calls to flush() will no
longer be needed.

I'm saying ob_implicit_flush is broken in 4.2.x and does not call
flush() after each echo, or if it does, it's still not outputting to
STDOUT.

By default, php.ini has 4k of output buffering. I want to leave that
for the rest of the applications I'm running and since you can't modify
the ini value with ini_set(), I'm resorting to the ob_* functions.
Instead of calling ob_end_flush() at the start of the script cause
according to the docs on that, as part of its functionality, it turns
off ob.

Either way, I'm getting output buffering turned off while leaving 4k
buffering in php.ini, but I doesn't mean that ob_implicit_flush() might
still be not working right. I guess I'll just wait a few more days for
4.3.0 and try that out.

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

if you are not using ob and do not have gzip compression enabled, then
by simply doing flush(); you'll get the data your are outputing sent to
screen without any output buffering.

 If you need to flush, do not use output buffers at all.

That's what I'm trying to do, use ob_implicit_flush() at the beginning
of my script to turn off ob.

 Imagine turning on/off compression, converting one encoding to
another, etc in the middle of transmission. It just does not work.

I'm not wanting to change encoding or turn zlib compression on/off the
middle of a script. I just have a basic 400 line script I'd like to
output. I simply don't want to have ob turned on.

Don't worray, it's known issue.
I can make it flush when all output buffers registered may be flushed,
otherwise it just does not work.

etc in the middle of transmission. It just does not work.

If you need to flush, do not use output buffers at all.

Note: Older PHP is just deleted the last output buffer registered with
ob_implicit_flush. This is wrong behavior.





[2002-04-18 03:50:26] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried leaving output_buffering = 4096 in php.ini and turning on
implicit_flush in php.ini, and it's still not flushing my echo lines
till the end of script execution, so neither the function or the ini
config are working for me. If I make output_buffering = 0, it flushes
correctly as expected, but as I understand it, the whole point of
ob_implicit_flush() in runtime is to override the default ini config
which is what I want to do.
