(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
ob_end_clean — Limpa (apaga) o conteúdo do buffer de saída ativo e desliga-o
Esta função chama o manipulador de saída
(com as opções PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEAN e
PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FINAL),
descarta seu valor de retorno,
descarta o conteúdo do buffer de saída ativo
e desliga o mesmo.
ob_end_clean() falhará
sem um buffer de saída ativo com a opção
PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE.
ob_end_clean()
irá descartar o conteúdo do buffer de saída ativo
mesmo se tiver sido iniciado sem a opção
PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE.
Esta função não possui parâmetros.
Se a função falhar, ela gera um E_NOTICE.
O exemplo a seguir mostra uma maneira fácil de se livrar do conteúdo do buffer de saída ativo:
Exemplo #1 Exemplo de ob_end_clean()
<?php
ob_start();
echo 'Este texto não será mostrado.';
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.
