With this information, we still can't do anything though. If we can't reproduce it with a case, then how can you expect us to fix it? I've read the phpfreakz link that you posted but all it offers is silly comments on how not to use ob_Start() at all. There is obviously a bug, but it's very strange. The only way that can happen is that there is some memory corruption, but you can only find that with a debugger. If you can't offer that information, we can't help. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-15 14:20:57] holly at phren dot net Sure. I read it before i made the first post. But... What I did? I can't answer that question, because neither did I write that code nor did I see the error message in a browser. But there is a website, which uses an "auto_prepend_file" which I showed in the second post. What I expected to happen? I expect the Website to load correctly, with buffered output, so that the cookies and header()-calls work after output would have started. What happend? People surf onto that website and get the mentioned error-message occasionaly (as already described). This happens irregularly and only for about 1-2 minutes. After that phase everything works normally. I can't try a CVS-snapshot, because it is a production server and because the error is not reproductable. I'm sure, that I understand the error message. I briefly provided code, which won't help you, because the problem is not reproducable for me. So it probably won't be for you. I tried my best, writing English. I'm not a native speaker, but I think, people understand me. Otherwise feel free to ask about specific passages of my posts. I use the current stable version of php5. I only reported one problem in this bug report. So, as you can see, there's not more information in this post, than there was in the previous ones. Not that I structured this post a little more that the other ones, you may be able to ask deeper questions to one of the paragraphs in this post. I really think, the developers and volunteers here do a good job. Bugs are fixed quite fast and reports are responded to even faster. But I don't understand that you could not tell me a little more detailed, which information you need. I even asked for it in the very first post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-15 13:05:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have you read the link I posted? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-15 12:58:54] holly at phren dot net What kind of information do you need? I can't reproduce this error. I googled a lot before posting this bug, and the only case which was similar to mine was this: http://www.phpfreakz.nl/forum.php?forum=10&iid=490592&print=1 Unfortunatly it is dutch. The beginning of the prepend file looks like this: === <?php /* some comment */ ob_start(); // other code ?> === So please specify, what information you need and don't just close the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-15 12:50:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug. Please re-read the instructions at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If you can provide more information, feel free to add it to this bug and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-15 12:46:27] holly at phren dot net Description: ------------ >From time to time we get the error message "call to undefined function ob_start()" on of our customers' webserver. This happens one to thrice a month and lasts for 1-2 minutes. I don't see any regularity which fits to any scheduled job, that is running on that machine. ob_start() is the first function that is called and it is in the file, which was specified as "auto_prepend_file" in the php.ini, so every php-file on the webserver generates the error on every call in these 1-2 minutes. So I'm not sure, if the same error would occur with another function at that place. As this happens on a customers' production server, my options to test are very small, moreover the error was always reported, when it was already gone. All I have is the error-logfile. I'm not sure, what information you could additionally need. So please tell me, if there's anything that you need to know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34133&edit=1
