Derick was asking if you have problem with 4.2.0-dev.... http://snaps.php.net/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-09 23:26:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have tried using PHP 4.1.1 now and output is still being cut off. It seems to do this when there is a very long string in a variable. For example I have my one program create all the body of an HTML file into one variable such as $body. Other variables handle other sections of the HTML code such as $header, $body_tag, etc. This way many different modules can all have control over the page output regardless of when they are called. But if the output gets fairly large in one variable, then the script seems to stop output (NOT NECESSARILY while outputing that variable but could be in the middle of an echo statement further down. It's as if it can only handle echoing a limited amount HTML. I'm not talking about the variable being huge either, just a couple of pages worth of text. I tried changing the default 8MB of memory a script can use up to 20MB. Currently I have output buffering turned to Off. If I turn it on it seems to handle it better but still have problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-19 18:32:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry, What I first thought to be consistant is proving me wrong. The end bracket is now making no difference whether the page loads completely or not. It seemed to at first but now there is no difference. A new discovery is that on some pages even with Output_buffering set to On, it is also halting output to HTML code. It is also crashing many times whereas a request to a page (or simple refresh) is sometimes just hanging or returning very quickly that the page is not available (and upon a refresh it loads again). 4.1.0 had some wise moves made with the session handling so globals can be turned off. I've been waiting for this improvement for sometime, but 4.1.0 is simply too buggy and unstable. I've tried a couple of the new developments but am finding other problems with them the strongest being my code to connect to my MySQL database no longer works in the newer versions (4.2.0-dev). I am giving up and going back to 4.0.6 Until the serious bugs are removed from a version with the better session handling. If you need me to test other things I'd be happy to, just let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-17 17:58:58] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Went back to PHP 4.1.0 and have tried numerous things and found a consistency causing the problem (don't understand why though). If the URL is something such as: http://www.domain.com/test/control_panel scripting stops part ways through unless I have output_buffering On if the URL is: http://www.domain.com/test/control_panel/ (notice the end /) it works just fine with output_buffering on OR off When I drop back to PHP4.0.6 it doesn't matter if the end '/' is there or not. I must point out that this script forces a virtual URL in that it actually is running a PHP script called test and everything else on the URL is simply virtual pages telling the test script what it is to be doing. On static pages I have not tested this to see if the '/' is missing that there is a problem. Perhaps apache needs different configuration when using PHP4.1.0 over PHP4.0.6 to overcome the end '/' tag. Now that I know this bug, I can easily overcome it in my code (all links already do this but for test pages I just manually type it in and have always left the end '/' off as it worked in previous versions of PHP). Just in case I tested it with both magic_quotes on and off in both 4.0.6 and 4.1.0 and it still works in 4.0.6 and not in 4.1.0 Either way this problem is not as serious anymore as this slight fix (in knowing the '/' is needed) means I'm no longer having half pages displayed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-15 15:33:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tried using the snap shot and it will no longer let me connect to my MySQL database so I couldn't run the page I've been doing the testing on. Did the format for mysql_connect change in this version? I can still connect to it from the Linux prompt itself so it's still running. In phpinfo() the section on mysql looks exactly the same except MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE (4.1.0 reports 'none' the 4.2.0-dev reports 'builtin') yet I used the same configure line (both used built in - I've never figured out how to get it to use the installed MySQL perhaps because it's installed from rpm files and library file just don't exist - but not too sure what I am supposed to be looking for there). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-15 06:35:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you please try a snapshot from snaps.php.net, and see if it's fixed in the 4.2.0dev version?
