> ob_start; shoulf be one the first line before anything else that outputs > something not in the function Hi do you mean that I cannot output anything to the browser? _at_all_ I've moved ob_start out of the function, but I still get output of html_header to the browser? <? function top_code($lev) { html_header("Hello"); $output = ob_get_contents(); return $output; } $build_home_index = @fopen($index_page,"w"); if (!$build_home_index) { print "\n<li>Error opening " . $index_page . " for writing!"; } else { ob_start; @fputs($build_home_index,top_code($lev)); @fputs($build_home_index,show_categories()); @fputs($build_home_index,bottom_code()); ob_end_clean(); print "\n<li>" . $front_end_url . "/index.php - Built"; } fclose($build_home_index); ?> tia Bealers
