From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: PHP version: 5CVS-2004-08-10 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: php_strip_whitespace() stdout problems
Description: ------------ The proto and description of php_strip_whitespace() indicate it should return a stripped string. It does not do this and instead outputs the stripped code to stdout. It looks like the function IS intended to return the stripped string as the code uses output buffering, but the problem lies in php_strip(). Unlike highlight_file() which uses zend_printf()'s and ZEND_PUTC()'s and what-have-you so output buffering works and the result is captured, php_strip() is hardcoded to output to stdout which means the output buffering intended for php_strip_whitespace() doesn't work and an empty string is returned for this function. It also means, for Apache, since stdout goes nowhere (I think?), nothing is even outputted to the browser. Fixing this would also close #28280. (same function, different issue) Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* ... */ var_dump(php_strip_whitespace($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])); ?> Expected result: ---------------- string(63) "<?php var_dump(php_strip_whitespace($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])); ?>" Actual result: -------------- CLI: <?php var_dump(php_strip_whitespace($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])); ?> string(0) "" Apache: string(0) "" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29606&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29606&r=float
