(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
ob_end_clean — Effacez (nettoyez) le contenu du tampon de sortie actif et désactivez-le.
Cette fonction appelle le gestionnaire de sortie
(avec les drapeaux PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEAN et
PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FINAL),
ignore sa valeur de retour,
ignore le contenu du tampon de sortie actif
et désactive ce dernier.
ob_end_clean() échouera
sans un tampon de sortie actif démarré avec le drapeau
PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE.
ob_end_clean()
supprimera le contenu du tampon de sortie actif
même s'il a été démarré sans le drapeau
PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE.
Cette fonction ne contient aucun paramètre.
Si la fonction échoue, elle génère une E_NOTICE.
L'exemple suivant montre une manière simple de se débarrasser du contenu du tampon de sortie actif :
Exemple #1 Exemple avec ob_end_clean()
<?php
ob_start();
echo 'Texte qui ne sera pas affiché.';
ob_end_clean();
?>
Take note that if you change zlib output compression setting in between ob_start and ob_end_clean or ob_end_flush, you will get an error: ob_end_flush() failed to delete buffer zlib output compression
Example:
<?php
ob_start();
$output = ob_get_contents();
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', '1');
ob_end_clean();
?>
ob_end_clean(); in this example will throw the error.Note that if you started called ob_start with a callback, that callback will still be called even if you discard the OB with ob_end_clean.
Because there is no way of removing the callback from the OB once you've set it, the only way to stop the callback function from having any effect is to do something like:
<?php
$ignore_callback = false;
ob_start('my_callback');
...
if($need_to_abort) {
$ignore_callback = true;
ob_end_clean();
...
}
function my_callback(&$buffer) {
if($GLOBALS['ignore_callback']) {
return "";
}
...
}
?>If there is no confidence about output buffering (enabled or not),
you may try these guards:
<?php
while (ob_get_level() !== 0) {
ob_end_clean();
}
// or
while (ob_get_length() !== false) {
ob_end_clean();
}
?>You might want to prevent your script from executing if the client already has the latest version.
You can do it like so:
ob_start();
$mtime=filemtime($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"])-date("Z");
$gmt_mtime = date('D, d M Y H:i:s', $mtime) . ' GMT';
$headers = getallheaders();
if(isset($headers["If-Modified-Since"])) {
if ($headers["If-Modified-Since"] == $gmt_mtime) {
header("HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified");
ob_end_clean();
exit;
}
}
$size=ob_get_length();
header("Last-Modified: ".$gmt_mtime);
header("Content-Length: $size");
ob_end_flush();
Instead of checking the If-Modified-Since-Header against the date of the last modification of the script, you can of course query a database or take any other date that is somehow related to the modification of the result of your script.
You can for instance use this technique to generate images dynamically. If the user indicates he already has a version of the image by the If-Modified-Since-Header, there's no need to generate it and let the server finally discard it because the server only then interpretes the If-Modified-Since-Header.
This saves server load and shortens response-times.
