Re: Re-engineering print()

Look into output buffering (ob_* functions). You wouldn't want to do that with your whole script; but there is an example (if not in the manual it's on zend I believe) so you can assign the results (what would've been outputted to the browser without the buffering) to a variable. --Toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kristofer Widholm" <kristofer_widholm@bigfoot.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 1:19 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re-engineering print() > Here's what you wrote, 01-01-11: > > > > $s = sprintf("%s", implode("\n", file('template.php'))); > > > >Why this???
