Description:

Excuse my english, i'm french.

Function ob_get_contents :
In the description you say "Gets the contents of the output buffer without clearing it."

But in the example you can show that the buffer was cleaned.

You contradict yourself.

Sincerely, Delphin.

In french :
Dans la description vous dites "Retourne le contenu du tampon de sortie sans l'effacer."

Or dans l'example vous d?montrez que le buffer a ?t? n?toy?.
Vous vous contredisez.

Cordialement, Delphin.

Thanks for your report.

The description is not contradictory to the example.

In the example, we start the output buffering and echo "Hello ". This means that "Hello " is now in the output buffer. We assign the current buffer to a variable called $out1 so it contains "Hello ". Now we echo "World" so the output buffer now contains "Hello World". We assign the current buffer to $out2.

Next we clear the buffer and end output buffering. Finally we var_dump $out1 and $out2 and to see what they contain.

It is correct that the buffer is cleaned in the example, but that is due to ob_end_clean(), not ob_get_contents().
