You can use a PHP workarround. Install a custom ob_handler, that has a
static file descriptor, and writes all output to the file. In order to also
see everything, you need to also activate implicit flush. i know that there
would be lots of elegant ways to do this on linux in C, but AFAIK php
doesn't ofer anything like that.
here's some code (untested)
<?php
function _myObHandler($sBuf)
{
static $rFile = null;
if ($rFile === null)
{
/// open the file here
}
fwrite($rFile,$sBuf);
return $sBuf;
}
ob_start('_myObHandler');
ob_implicit_flush();
