Description:
------------
From PHP manual: PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE const control access to functions: ob_clean(), ob_end_clean(), and ob_get_clean().

Using ob_end_clean(), there is a notice: "ob_end_clean(): failed to discard buffer of default output handler (1)".

Using ob_get_clean(), there is even a double notice: "ob_get_clean(): failed to delete buffer of default output handler (1)".

I understand, that only cleanable buffer can't be flush and delete. So why in manual these functions are under control PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE const? I'm confused.

Test script:
---------------
ob_start(null, 0, PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE);    
ob_end_clean();
    
ob_start(null, 0, PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE);    
ob_get_clean();



Expected result:
----------------
No notice, and no buffer after function invocation.

Actual result:
--------------
ob_end_clean() produces notice:
Notice: ob_end_clean(): failed to discard buffer of default output handler (1) 

ob_get_clean() produces double notice:
Notice: ob_get_clean(): failed to discard buffer of default output handler (2)
Notice: ob_get_clean(): failed to discard buffer of default output handler (2)

Verified on my Fedora 20 with PHP 5.5.14.
This seems a bug rather than doc issue. What do you think, mike?

ob_start(null, 0, PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE);
echo 'AAA';
ob_end_clean();

This code does not clean buffer, raises error, then outputs 'AAA'.

Control is more fine grained now; you need to add PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE to be able to pop it off the stack:

ob_start(null, 0, PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE | PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE);

Or if flushing is also allowed (good idea), you can use PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_STDFLAGS, which includes all three capabilities.

Silly me. Re-opening as a doc issue.

JFYI the behavior is that way since PHP-5.4.0

No problem for documenting.

ob_start(null, 0, PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE);

I thought it would be nicer if ob_end_clean() raises error for removing and clean output, but documentation should be ok.
