When fpassthru() is used within an ob_start / ob_end_clean block, a subsequent call to header() fails because headers have already been sent. The following script reproduces the problem:

<?php
    $fd = fopen(__FILE__, "r");
    ob_start();
    fpassthru($fd);
    ob_end_clean();
    header("X-Test: fpassthru already sent headers");
?>

Ran as cgi (ie 'php head.php'), but the apache module exhibits the same problem. This problem may be similar to bug #8807

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/apxs --enable-versioning --with-mysql --enable-track-vars

no php.ini is used

passtru doesn't use the output buffering functions. It's not meant to be, so changing to Feature request.

Actually, fpassthru seems to partial support the output buffering as placing it between ob_start / ob_end_clean generates no output. ob_get_contents() placed after the fpassthru correctly returns the output fpassthru would have generated. My concern here was that fpassthru seems to be generating a header (headers_sent() returns true) even though the rest of the output is being correctly buffered. Is the buffering happening by a happy accident?

Is there a list of functions that work (or don't work) with output buffering?

Seems to use buffers now (in 4.3).
I'm not sure if this is the case in 4.2, or even if we
want this behaviour.
Derick?

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
