Standard output (printf) question...

I'm trying to create a function that will generate output that could go to either a file or to the current browser directly. To do this I have something like: function GenerateOutput($out) { fwrite($out, "Some stuff"); fflush($out); } and to call it I tried: $stdout = fopen("php://stdout", "w"); GenerateOutput($stdout); But for some reason nothing shows in the browser when I do this. I can't seem to find information about what output stream "printf" is actually writing to. Do we have access to this stream? Can anyone provide a hint as to why the above doesn't work? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________________ Paul H. Breslin http://Canadian-Artist.com mailto:phb@Canadian-Artist.com
