A hint for PHP beginners like me:
The buffered output which is write by fflush() has nothing to do with the output buffer which is initiated by the ob_start() function.
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
fflush — 出力をファイルにフラッシュする
stream
ファイルポインタは、有効なファイルポインタである必要があり、 fopen() または fsockopen() で正常にオープンされた (そしてまだ fclose() でクローズされていない) ファイルを指している必要があります。
成功した場合に true
を、失敗した場合に false
を返します。
例1 fflush() を使用するファイル書き込みの例
<?php
$filename = 'bar.txt';
$file = fopen($filename, 'r+');
rewind($file);
fwrite($file, 'Foo');
fflush($file);
ftruncate($file, ftell($file));
fclose($file);
?>

Sorry, the note I previously added regarding fflush() has a bug!
when you read file by calling
$fp = fopen("myfile", "a+");
and you wish to read the content, you have to call
rewind($fp) before you attemp to read it. (Silly me) Or else if you tried something like
$fp = fopen("myfile", "a+");
$content = fread($fp);
// show that content is in fact null
if ($content == NULL)
print "but it must be first put to rewind<br>\n";
will result
but it must be first put to rewind.
[new line]
in fact, if you are not careful (like me), and you opened it with
$fp = fopen("myfile", "r+");
$content = fread($fp);
..
// do something with content
..
then you tried to again
$content = fread($fp);
without rewind, you'd get NULL again. This sounds trivial, but if you work with several file resources, with freads and fopens everywhere, you can get easily lost. So becareful.
