Question

Need a bit of PHP help here, the included content is appearing as ‘1’ which means that its true but need it’s contents to appear and im unsure why it isn’t. Here is a shortened version of a function:

public function content {
    $website->content = 'Some content here. ';
    ob_start();
    include('myfile.php');
    $file_content = ob_end_clean();
    $website->content .= $file_content;
    $website->content .= ' Some more content here.';
     echo $website->content;
}

This outputs:

Some content here 
1 
Some more content here

When I need it to output:

Some content here
'Included file content here'
Some more content here

Any idea’s how I can fix this?

Answer 1

Try using ob_get_clean() instead of ob_end_clean().

Both clear the current buffer but ob_end_clean() returns a boolean, whereas ob_get_clean() returns the contents of the current buffer.
