Correction to previous post: ob_get_clean() is better, ie:



<?php

// start generating html

$html = '<html><head>'; // etc

// start output buffering

ob_start();

// call function which outputs immediately

print_menu();

// append this to $html and empty buffer

$html .= ob_get_clean();

?>

I found this function is useful for storing output instead of displaying it. For example, I wanted to use an old function which echoed the ouput but I wanted it in a variable, not outputted immediately. Here's how:



<?php

// start generating html

$html = '<html><head>'; // etc

// start output buffering

ob_start();

// call function which outputs immediately

print_menu();

// append this to $html

$html .= ob_get_flush();

// empty output buffer

ob_clean();

?>
