My client's new shared server does not allow printing to a file, so I want my print statement to print to a buffer, then I'll send it to the user via Headers. This does not work since "print" does no go to the buffer, or at least appears not to: I get the errors from the header statements;
<?
ob_start;
print "This is a test<bf>";
$buf = ob_get_contents();
$len = strlen($buf);
ob_end_clean();
header("Content-type: application/text");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=Sfyc.html");
print($buf);
?>
