note 55271 added to function.include

Just a better implementation of the function posted before... A way to assign an include's output to a variable (without actually write it to the buffer) in order to make some process, or just print it more than one time, or something more usefull. File "test.php": <?php ob_start(); $myOutput = getIncludeOutput("inc.test2.php"); echo "Here is the output:<br>"; echo str_to_upper( $myOutput )."<br>"; echo "And here is again the output:<br>"; echo str_to_lower( $myOutput )."<br>"; function getIncludeOutput($path){ /* save the current buffer */ $buffer = ob_get_contents(); /* write the include */ include $path; $output = substr($buffer,strlen($buffer)); /* restore the original buffer */ ob_clean(); echo $buffer; return $output; } ?> File "inc.test2.php": <?php echo "<i>Hello, World!</i><br>"; ?> ---- Submitter IP: 200.68.106.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55271 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55271&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55271&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55271&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55271&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55271&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55271&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55271&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
