hi there, I can't seem to manage to buffer output (of an included file) in a CLI script, the following does not work: // buffer output so we can avoid the shebang line being output (and strip it from the output we log) $oldIFvalue = ini_set('implicit_flush', false); ob_start(); if (!@include $script) { ob_end_clean(); } else { $output = explode("\n", ob_get_clean()); if ($output[0] && preg_match('%^#!\/%', $output[0])) unset($output[0]); } ini_set('implicit_flush', $oldIFvalue); the reason I'm wanting to do this is, primarily, in order to stop the shebang line that *may* be present in the included script from being output to stdout. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
