ob_start and ob_get_contents() errors :(

[Jamez]

Hi All, thanks in advance for any help.

In one of my scripts im using this code:

  

       ob_start();
       include("/test/template.php");
       $output = ob_get_contents();
       ob_end_clean();
       $content = $output;

The function is supposed to grab the contents of "template.php" in it's html output form and save them to the variable $conent.

I have used this with success on several other scripts. This time, when i run the function is seems to "include" the file instead of running the script.... the file does have php in it including other "includes" ... could that be the problem? Is there any solution? 😕

You're adding an extra stepa there - use $output = ob_get_clean(); instead of the last three commands.

So the included file as php commands that output with echo / print, whatever in it without being invoked?
