Need help using ob_start()

[Paragon]

Well it is working just fine, but it is outputting the result twice. It out puts it at the end of the page and when I call it. Problem is I only want it to output when I call it.

	ob_start(END_TIMER);
	ob_end_flush(END_TIMER);

function END_TIMER(){
	global $start_time;
			$end_time = microtime();
			$end_time_array = explode(" ", $end_time);
			$end_time = $end_time_array['0'] + $end_time_array['1'];
			$start_time_array = explode(" ", $start_time); 
			$start_time = $start_time_array['0'] + $start_time_array['1']; 
			$execution_time = $end_time - $start_time;
			$execution_time = number_format($execution_time, 5);
		return $execution_time;
}

What is this "it" that you're calling? I presume you mean END_TIMER().

For one thing, ob_end_flush() doesn't take any arguments, so the END_TIMER there (which should, incidentally be "END_TIMER" anyway both there and in ob_start()) is useless.

Second, ob_end_flush() also outputs the contents of the output buffer. Maybe you want [man]ob_end_clean[/man].
