Hi,

I've just stumbled across this problem:
I have a few pages which all include one file that does some functionality needed for session management. Now I have a problem in one of these pages (the other ones seem to work): the output from the included file is not completely output before the "including" script continues; instead, I have something like this:
### output from include()
### rest of the "including" file
### output from include() (remaining portion).

In short, the last thing the included file should output is "</table>". But I get everything until "</", then the output from the including file, then "table>".

In "long": I have put the concerned scripts at https://members.rosenkeller.org/phpbug/
The file "logout.php" includes "session.php". The corresponding "logout-src.php" and "session-src.php" simply show the source code of the respective file; I have also included phpinfo.php which shows the results of phpinfo().
If you have a look at the HTML source that output.php produces, you should see what I mean (the "warning: undefined variable" is normal, because there is no session).

I think that this is a bug; if I overlooked something instead (maybe some configuration option?) I'd be pleased to hear what it is...

Thank you in advance, and keep the great work up! :-)

Hi,
this actually _is_ a bug :-)

The minimalistic case: you have 2 files:
#a.php
<?php session_start();?>123<!-- hello -->
#b.php
<?php include("a.php"); session_destroy(); ?>456

The output should be "123<!-- hello -->456", right?
But it is "123<!456 -- hello -->".

The same thing happens when using require().
When leaving out the session_destroy() or putting it at the very end of b.php, everything works as expected.

Please check this if you can.
Best regards,
Chris

Can't reproduce this either with 4.2.1. Please try this version and reopen if this is not fixed.
