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(); ?>
