The definition should mention that the function also "turns off output buffering", not just cleans it.
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
ob_get_clean — 获取活动缓冲区的内容并将其关闭
该函数调用输出处理程序（使用 PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEAN 和 PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FINAL
flag），丢弃其返回值，返回活动输出缓冲区的内容并关闭活动输出缓冲区。
如果没有以 PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE flag 启动的活动输出缓冲区，ob_get_clean() 将失败。
ob_get_clean() 将丢弃活动输出缓冲区的内容，即使是在没有 PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE flag 的情况下启动的。
如果函数失败生成 E_NOTICE。
示例 #1 ob_get_clean() 的简单示例
<?php
ob_start();
echo "Hello World";
$out = ob_get_clean();
$out = strtolower($out);
var_dump($out);
?>以上示例会输出：
string(11) "hello world"
The definition should mention that the function also "turns off output buffering", not just cleans it.Also, don't forget that you will need to ob_start() again for any successive calls:
<?php
ob_start();
echo "1";
$content = ob_get_clean();
ob_start(); // This is NECESSARY for the next ob_get_clean() to work as intended.
echo "2";
$content .= ob_get_clean();
echo $content;
?>
Output: 12
Without the second ob_start(), the output is 21 ...Keep in mind that output may be buffered by default, depending on how you are running PHP (CGI, CLI, etc.). You can use ob_get_level() to determine if an output buffer has already been started. On most web servers I've used, output buffering is already one level deep before my scripts start running.
You should only end as many output buffers as you start. Assuming that your buffer is always the first buffer, or otherwise closing pre-existing buffers, could lead to problems. In PHP 5.5, you can ensure that output buffers are ended properly using a try-finally block.
Something like this is almost guaranteed to break stuff:
<?php
// Don't ever do this!
while (ob_get_level() > 1)
{
ob_end_flush();
}
$content = ob_get_clean();
?>
The problem is that number, "1". Using a fixed number there is asking for trouble. Instead, use ob_get_level() to get the number of output buffers applied when your code starts, and return to that number, if you really must use an unknown number of output buffers:
<?php
ob_start();
$saved_ob_level = ob_get_level();
// Do stuff here:
run_something();
// If you really must close all of your output buffers except one, this'll do it:
while (ob_get_level() > $start_ob_level)
{
ob_end_flush();
}
// And now, the final output buffer that belongs to us:
$content = ob_get_clean();
?><?php
ob_start();
echo "1";
$content = ob_get_clean();
echo "2";
$content .= ob_get_clean();
echo $content;
?>
This script outputs 21 in CLI mode and 12 otherwise (under my apache and nginx)I was trying to debug my code using error_log() and I discovered that ob_get_clean() also truncates the error_log() buffer right in the middle of its output, and well as the output buffer which it is supposed to truncate. If you are using error_log(), use ob_get_contents() and ob_end_clean() instead of ob_get_clean().
