question: I try to buffer the output of the 'system/views/main.php' into $contents. and then do a print. Problem is that the contents of the system/views/main.php are printed 2 times. Someone who can explain me? following the contents of testfile.php and main.php, php.ini settings concerning ob_ ... functions and the output of the script.

Hi, you have to use <?php // testfile.php ob_start(); include 'browsers.html'; $contents = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); print 'no output above normally ??? :('; print $contents; ?> because include goes to buffer, print's go to buffer and on the end the buffer is automatically flushed out. So it's the 2x - once for include, once for "print $contents" Simple eh? Petr
