This PHP script prints all the data minus the XML to the browser (I’m using Chrome). How can I suppress output to screen?

<html>
<head><title>Twitcap</title></head>
<body>
<?php
  function twitcap()
  {
    // Set your username and password
    $user = 'osoleve';
    $pass = '********';

    $ch = curl_init("https://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml");

    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER,0); // We want to see the header
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,30); // Set timeout to 30s
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERPWD,$user.':'.$pass); // Set uname/pass
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSER,1); // Do not send to screen

    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,1);

    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement( curl_exec($ch) );
    curl_close($ch);

    return $xml;
  }

  $content = twitcap();
  echo "Hello, world.<br /><br />";
?>
</body>
</html>

    You ommitted the F in TRANSFER, change this:

    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSER,1);

    To this: CURLOPT_RETURNTRANS F ER

    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
