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 .

"/index.php - Built"; } fclose($build_home_index); ?> tia Bealers
