Question

echo '<table border=\'0\' cellpadding=\'0\' cellspacing=\'0\'>';

for ($y=$startY;$y<$startY+$fieldHeight;$y++) {
    echo '<tr>';
    for ($x=$startX;$x<$startX+$fieldWidth;$x++) {
        //echo '(' . $x . ',' . $y . ')';
        echo '<td><img src=\'tiles/' . (isset($map[$x][$y]['terrain']) ? $map[$x][$y]['terrain'] : 'water') . '.png\' alt=\'\' /></td>';
    }
    echo '</tr>';
}

echo '</table>';

This data will be updated through jQuery calls. I am just looking for a simple way to store the output from the above in a variable. How can I do that?

Answer 1

ob_start();
// echo what you want
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Reference for ob_get_contents();
