ms_iogetstdoutbufferbytes always returning 0 bytes written

[keithmoss]

The documentation http://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html#functions states that the ms_iogetstdoutbufferbytes() function returns the number of bytes written but it always return 0 in my tests.

Environment: Windows Server 2003, IIS6, PHP (via FastCGI) 5.2.9-2, MapServer 5.4.0-rc2 from MS4W.

PHP MapScript Version string: ($Revision: 8814 $ $Date: 2009-03-19 18:18:36 -0400 (Thu, 19 Mar 2009) $)

I have the same issue with PHP MapScript version 5.6.6 (Ubuntu 10.04, UbuntuGIS stable repository).

Test case:

ms_ioinstallstdouttobuffer();
$map->owsdispatch($this->_request);
$contentType = ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype();
//header("Content-type: $contentType");
$size = ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();
ms_ioresethandlers();

//$size value is '0'

The fix was made in the 6.0 trunk. It was not committed to the 5.6 branch. I'd suggest you try the latest 6.0 beta.

Any chance getting this fix in next 5.* release ?

New test results: In 5.6 (Ubuntu 10.04, UbuntuGIS stable repository): $size = $image->saveimage(); WORKS $size = ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes(); DOES NOT WORK

In 6.0 (Ubuntu 10.04, UbuntuGIS unstable repository): $size = $image->saveimage(); DOES NOT WORK $size = ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes(); WORKS

Backported in r11824. Haven't tested the saveimage() note... if it's an issue, please fill a new ticket.
