Hi all,

Somewhere in May this year I discovered that our software would not run on PHP 5.4 because of changed behaviour of ob_start(). I discovered a bugreport that was marked 'Not a bug', but valuable info was already added to it. I contacted Michael Wallner (mike) directly because he marked the bug 'not a bug'. No response.

I decided that this bug was worth my time and invested a few hours into it. I have found that the test that tested it was broken too. I wrote a patch for the bug and the test and added this onto the bug report on June 8th.

June 18th I re-opened the bugreport. I just got my php.net account. I thought re-opening the bug would mean it would get noticed by someone.

Since then the bugreport gathered some me-too's and one thanks-for-the-patch. (At least my work has made one other person happy so far.)

Two weeks ago I emailed Michael Wallner again. No response.

I noticed Xinchen Hui (laruence) assigned the bug to mike two days ago. Based on my experiences so far, I don't think he will look into this issue though.

Mike, please note that I do not blame you. I understand that free time is very sparse and valuable and for most of us doing any work on an open source project is done in free time.

Can someone please look into this? I've written all I know in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61272 but I'm available to discuss the patch by email or in #php.pecl

Greetings, Casper
