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"
