Description:
------------
ob_get_flush description does not state that the output will be send to the screen as well as returned. This is very confusing and a time drain. Generally speaking all ob_* functions' documentaion could use some improvements (e.g. docs for 'get' functions never say if the flush is made by PHP or should be done by hand). Having so many functions for buffering functionality, while sometimes good, should be very well documented.

Description of the function clearly states the behavior: "Flush the output buffer, return it as a string and turn off output buffering"
