Subject: php5-cli: Sometimes doesn't flush output on exit

Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 01:09:37 +0100

Package: php5-cli
Version: 5.2.0-7
Severity: important

Hi,

in some cases it seems that the CLI php doesn't flush its output when
the script exits and output is not connected to a terminal (thus not
line buffered).

Unfortunately, until now I haven't been able to find a small script that
reproduces the problem. The case I stumbled upon happens with the
testsuite of the symfony php framework. To reproduce it, please follow
these steps:

1. check out symfony from symfony svn:
    % svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/trunk symfony
2. change into the freshly checked out symfony directory and run
    % php5 ./test/functional/crudTest.php | tee /dev/null
3. to see how the correct output should be (modulo some colorization),
   remove the "| tee /dev/null" from the previous command

If the testsuite is modified to call flush() on exit, the output isn't
truncated anymore.

I'm pretty sure that symfony itself doesn't disable output flushing
itself (no output buffering etc. involved, plus it works with php
5.1.6).

Andreas

uh, i did this and got no output with or without a pipe:

copelandia[~/symfony]23:43:05$ php5 test/functional/crudTest.php
copelandia[~/symfony]23:43:06$ php5 test/functional/crudTest.php |
tee /dev/null
copelandia[~/symfony]23:43:07$

got a better example? :)
