I was trying to get the HTML for a debug report (to return it with an AJAX call) by using:

$report = eZDebug::printReport( false, true, true );

But the Debug report is written to the output buffer instead of into the variable. This invalidates the JSON I'm trying to return.

This is, because printReport() calls printReportInternal(). But there, instead of just passing $returnReport, it passes $returnReport & $newWindow. So if I don't want code for a new window, that parameter turns to false.

Another bug is:

Even when specifying $newWindow = true AND $returnReport =true, calling printReport() still prints some JavaScript code to the output buffer. This still destroys my AJAX answers.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create the following module:

<?php

eZDebug::writeDebug( 'Test message from debugtest' );

echo 'BEGIN eZDebug::printReport<br />' . PHP_EOL;
$report = eZDebug::printReport( false, true, true );
echo 'END eZDebug::printReport<br />' . PHP_EOL;

echo '<hr />';

echo 'Report should go here:' . PHP_EOL;
echo $report;

echo '<hr />';

?>

2. Check output between 'BEGIN eZDebug::printReport<br />' and 'END eZDebug::printReport<br />'.
