# ob_get_contents

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

ob_get_contents -- Return the contents of the output buffer

## Description

string ob_get_contents ( void )

This will return the contents of the output buffer without clearing it or `FALSE`, if output buffering isn't active.

Example 1. A simple ob_get_contents() example

`<?php ob_start(); echo "Hello "; $out1 = ob_get_contents(); echo "World"; $out2 = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); var_dump($out1, $out2); ?>`

Our example will output:

    string(6) "Hello "
    string(11) "Hello World"
