Output

[Anon]

Hi everyone, it seems like I´ve got into trouble again...

I'm trying to make a function or several functions that prints any type of info that a named variable contains.

I started out like this:

<?
$OUTPUT = array();

function mm_output ($line)
{
global $OUTPUT;
array_push($OUTPUT,$line);
}

function mm_flush_output ()
{
global $OUTPUT;
foreach($OUTPUT as $line)
echo $line."\n";
$OUTPUT = array();
}

mm_output("What ever...");
?>

but all I get is an empty page :-(
What I'm doing wrong (or right) here ?

To be more specific:
I want the function mm_output to print whatever the variable $line contains so I vac do a search in a db and then just print the answer to a webpage.
The data in the variable will be different almost every time...

I'm greatful for any kind of help from all you gurus out there.

Kind regards: Mikael

Hey
I assume that you want $line to be displayed as soon as you push the value,
I see that you do have a function mm_flush_output() but you are not calling it anywhere, your code should be in the following format

<?
$OUTPUT = array();

function mm_output ($line)
{
global $OUTPUT;
array_push($OUTPUT,$line);
mm_flush_output();
}

function mm_flush_output ()
{
global $OUTPUT;
foreach($OUTPUT as $line)
echo $line."\n";
$OUTPUT = array();
}

mm_output("What ever...");
?>

The only function that prints anything is mm_flush_output, but you never call that function.

Thanks, it works like a charm :-)

I guess it’s obvious that I’m totally new at this php thing. But at least I´m willing to learn :-)

Thanks again!
