(just hope that sthomas did't died after all this time :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-30 19:19:54] m...@php.net 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 "output call" does not refer to echo/print but to a call to the SAPI's module ub_write function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-20 01:09:19] valentiny510 at yahoo dot es Related To: Bug #64460 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-11 22:59:19] haakon at avelia dot no According to the manual: "ob_implicit_flush() will turn implicit flushing on or off. Implicit flushing will result in a flush operation after every output call, so that explicit calls to flush() will no longer be needed." This means that if I have registered a output-handler like this: function myhandler($str) { // handle $str internally } ob_start('myhandler'); ob_implicit_flush(true); Then according to the manual, each time I call "echo", "print" or output data outside PHP tags; it should call the ob_handler callback. This does not work in PHP CLI mode. If this is not expected to work, the manual should be updated. But this is a feature i really need, since i want to be able to let people write "print/echo" in their scripts, but my handler should preprocess the data. IMHO, it would have been really nice if this function worked as the documentation says. Either by actually automatically firing flush() on each echo/print/etc, or by implicitly calling the callback on each echo/print/etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-19 14:40:29] jeff at tillwicks dot us I agree with sthomas totally on this. I have been promised that there is a way to get the output preformance of perl with php using output buffering and flush. I use the cli version and have yet to get it working once. I have followed every example (copy and pasted exact) that is featured in php's own documentation. With every attempt all data is sent after the entire page has finished loading. It is just lack of support on this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-22 11:16:48] everyone at example dot com Look dude, you don't have to be so damn obnoxious about it.
