ob_get_clean - Get current buffer contents and delete current output buffer

SYNOPSIS

       string ob_get_clean (void  )

DESCRIPTION

	Gets the current buffer contents and delete current output buffer.

       ob_get_clean(3) essentially executes both ob_get_contents(3) and ob_end_clean(3).

	The output buffer must be started by ob_start(3) with PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE flag. Otherwise ob_get_clean(3) will not work.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the contents of the output buffer and end output buffering. If output buffering isn't active then FALSE is returned.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      A simple ob_get_clean(3) example

	      <?php

	      ob_start();

	      echo "Hello World";

	      $out = ob_get_clean();
	      $out = strtolower($out);

	      var_dump($out);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      string(11) "hello world"

ob_end_clean - Clean (erase) the output buffer and turn off output buffering

SYNOPSIS

       bool ob_end_clean (void	)

DESCRIPTION

	This  function	discards the contents of the topmost output buffer and turns off this output buffering. If you want to further process the
       buffer's contents you have to call ob_get_contents(3) before ob_end_clean(3) as the buffer contents are discarded when  ob_end_clean(3)	is
       called.

	The  output  buffer  must  be  started	by ob_start(3) with PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE and PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE flags. Otherwise
       ob_end_clean(3) will not work.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Reasons for failure are first that you called the function without an active buffer  or  that
       for some reason a buffer could not be deleted (possible for special buffer).

ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
	If the function fails it generates an E_NOTICE.

EXAMPLES

	The following example shows an easy way to get rid of all output buffers:

       Example #1

	      ob_end_clean(3) example

	      <?php
	      ob_start();
	      echo 'Text that won't get displayed.';
	      ob_end_clean();
	      ?>
