note 72499 added to ref.outcontrol

Sometimes you might not want to include a php-file under the specifications defined in the functions include() or require(), but you might want to have in return the string that the script in the file "echoes". Include() and require() both directly put out the evaluated code. For avoiding this, try output-buffering: <?php ob_start(); eval(file_get_contents($file)); $result = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); ?> or <?php ob_start(); include($file); $result = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); ?> which i consider the same, correct me if I'm wrong.
