Description:
------------
Seems ob_end_clean() does call output handler, but not ignore it. It is not adequately I suppose.

The same bug is at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16673, but it is on "No feedback" status and I cannot change it to "Open".

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$GLOBALS['called'] = false;
function func($buf) {
  $GLOBALS['called'] = true;
  return $buf;
}
ob_start("func");
ob_end_clean();
var_dump($GLOBALS['called']);
?>



Expected result:
----------------
false

Actual result:
--------------
true

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Nothing about this behaviour in documentation, only user comment. Does user comment have the same status as official documentation?

Do you thing this behaviour of ob_end_clean() is logical and appropriate?

We can't change something that existed for ages just because it looks wrong for you and isn't documented, as this change may break BC.
