## #1252 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2003-05-05T08:25:53+00:00

The following code

     <?php
     class Test {
       function Test() {
         ob_start(
           array(
             $this, 'transform'
           )
         );
       }

       function transform($buffer) {
         return 'bar';
       }
     }

     $t = new Test;
     ?>
     foo

  outputs 'bar', as it is expected to do, with PHP 4.3.1.

  With PHP 4.3.2-RC and PHP 5.0.0-dev it outputs 'foo' which is just
  plain wrong.
