ob_get_flush

ob_get_flush — Flush the output buffer, return it as a string and turn off output buffering
Description
ob_get_flush ( ) : string
ob_get_flush() flushes the output buffer, return it as a string and turns off output buffering.
The output buffer must be started by ob_start() with PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FLUSHABLE flag. Otherwise ob_get_flush() will not work.
Note: This function is similar to ob_end_flush(), except that this function also returns the buffer as a string.
Return Values
Returns the output buffer or false if no buffering is active.
