For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The first output buffer is still there holding your output...? Try print_r(ob_get_status(true)); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-04-23 00:32:46] magical...@php.net Description: ------------ When using ob_start() followed by a ini_set('zlib.output_compression', true), using ob_flush() won't output anything, even if no zlib compression will happen. This is a new bug since PHP 5.4.0, maybe linked to #61820 Test script: --------------- <?php ob_start(); ini_set('zlib.output_compression', true); echo "PHP VERSION ".phpversion()."\n"; ob_flush(); flush(); echo "You shouldn't have to wait to see me\n"; ob_flush(); flush(); sleep(5); Expected result: ---------------- PHP VERSION 5.5.0-dev You shouldn't have to wait to see me Actual result: -------------- PHP VERSION 5.5.0-dev You shouldn't have to wait to see me ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61821&edit=1
