    Output Buffering With PHP - Melting Down
    ( Page 4 of 9 )

    Of course, there aren't just two functions available to you - the output control API has a few other cards up its sleeve as well. Consider the following example:

    <?php // run at script start function page_init() { // start buffering the output ob_start(); } // run at script end function page_exit() { global $error; // if an error occurred // erase all output generated so far // and display an error message if ($error == 1) { ob_end_clean(); print_error_template(); } // no errors? // display output else { ob_end_flush(); } } // print error page function print_error_template() { echo "<html><head><basefont face=Arial></head><body>An error occurred. Total system meltdown now in progress.</body></html>"; } page_init(); // script code goes here echo "This script is humming like a well-oiled machine"; // if an error occurs // set the global $error variable to 1 // uncomment the next line to see what happens if no error occurs $error = 1; page_exit(); ?>
    In this case, depending on whether or not a particular error condition is met, PHP will either display the contents of the buffer, or wipe it clean via the ob_end_clean() function.
