[SOLVED] Output Buffering Turned On

[psquillace]

Hello All:

 

i wanted to get an idea about what kind of load we are talking about when this is kept on all the time in your php.ini file. I know it makes my life easier knowing that this is on all the time and not having to worry too much about if there is whitespace in front of my headers but the statement in the php.ini file says how it will slow down php a bit if it is left on.

 

How much resources is this actually going to use if it is on all the time, or am I missing the big picture on this one?

 

Thanks for your thoughts and input,

 

Paul

All output of each request will be stored in memory untill your output is sent. Its probably not a good idea to have it on.

hrmm, thanks thorp

 

so you think it is best to just keep it off and keep saying ob_start(); each time I need it?

 

I figured what harm is it doing with only 4096k set as the max

Im sure that relates to the limit per request. If you have 100 concurrent requests, thats alot of memory.

ahhh ok, good point.

 

thanks again for the input.
