ob_get_cleanGet current buffer contents and delete current output buffer


Description

ob_get_clean ( ) : string

Gets the current buffer contents and delete current output buffer.

ob_get_clean() essentially executes both ob_get_contents() and ob_end_clean().

The output buffer must be started by ob_start() with PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE and PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE flags. Otherwise ob_get_clean() will not work.


Return Values

Returns the contents of the output buffer and end output buffering. If output buffering isn't active then FALSE is returned.


Examples

Example #1 A simple ob_get_clean() example

<?phpob_start();echo "Hello World";$out = ob_get_clean();$out = strtolower($out);var_dump($out);?>

The above example will output:


string(11) "hello world"
