ob_get_flush — Flush the output buffer, return it as a string and turn off output buffering
Description
string ob_get_flush ( void )
ob_get_flush() flushes the output buffer, return it as a string and turns off output buffering.
The output buffer must be started by ob_start() with PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FLUSHABLE flag. Otherwise ob_get_flush() will not work.
Note: This function is similar to ob_end_flush(), except that this function returns the buffer as a string.
Return Values
Returns the output buffer or FALSE if no buffering is active.
