Hello, Could someone help me understand why later versions of PHP (4.3.9, 4.3.10, & 5.0.3) do not maintain the same ordering for virtual() call output as the older versions? Basically, generated pages that worked in PHP 4.3.7 & PHP 4.3.8 are now broken. Setting the "output_buffering=0" seems to help on some pages, but it is still broken on others. The content generated from the virtual() call inside a page ends up in the browser before the opening <HTML> tag. See the simplified example below: Source page: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> <?php require "./glob.css" ?> </style> <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"> <script> <?php virtual('chp.js') ; virtual('/hostinfo/getinfo'); ?> ... Expected in the browser: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> BODY { font-famliy:Veranda } .pageheader { font-size:12 } </style> <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"> <script> <!-- begin content from virtual chp.js.en (about 5569 bytes of javascript) --> var moo=3; function pagein() { var rc=false; retrun rc; } <!-- end content from virtual chp.js.en --> <!-- begin content from virtual /hostinfo/getname --> var myhostname="This computer is localhost.localdomain"; var myipaddress="127.0.0.1"; <!-- end content from virtual /hostname/getname --> ... Actually in the browser: <!-- begin content from virtual chp.js.en (about 5569 bytes of javascript) --> var moo=3; function pagein() { var rc=false; retrun rc; } <!-- end content from virtual chp.js.en --> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> BODY { font-famliy:Veranda } .pageheader { font-size:12 } </style> <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"> <script> <!-- begin content from virtual /hostinfo/getname --> var myhostname="This computer is localhost.localdomain"; var myipaddress="127.0.0.1"; <!-- end content from virtual /hostname/getname --> ... So, what changed in the output buffering between 4.3.8 and 4.3.9? Are there any settings or coding practices that would force the virtual calls out in the proper order within a page? The php4-200501201930 snapshot with output_buffering=0 seems to work the best, but this new behavior seems to be a bug. There are similar reports #30446, #31594, and #30811. Please advise.
