WeberDev.com -> PHP Manual -> Clean (erase) the output buffer and turn off output buffering

Description

bool ob_end_clean ( void )

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() before ob_end_clean() as the buffer contents are discarded when ob_end_clean() is called.

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.

ChangeLog
