Output buffer is flushed at the end of script. When you throw that exception in try block, this command: exit( 'Contents: ' . ob_get_clean()); never executes and it continues to catch block where you are outputing exception message, and it is added to the buffer, then the script ends and buffer flushes. ======================= "Leif Wickland" <leifwickland@xxxxxxxxx> pí¹e v diskusním pøíspìvku news:c5b9ee2c0902022202v6e2a071emfb062aa868ed7fa8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >I would expect that if I turn on output buffering, echo something, > throw an exception, > and catch the exception, nothing will have been actually output.
