                                 ob_end_clean

   (PHP 4 )
   ob_end_clean --  Clean (erase) the output buffer and turn off output
   buffering

Description

   bool ob_end_clean ( void )

   This function discards the contents of the topmost output buffer and
   turns off this output buffering. If you want to further process the
   buffer's contents you have to call ob_get_contents() before
   ob_end_clean() as the buffer contents are discarded when
   ob_end_flush() is called. The function returns TRUE when it
   successfully discarded one buffer and FALSE otherwise. Reasons for
   failure are first that you called the function without an active
   buffer or that for some reason a buffer could not be deleted (possible
   for special buffer).

   The following example shows an easy way to get rid of all output
   buffers:

   Example 1. ob_end_clean() example
   <?php
   while (@ob_end_clean());
   ?>

     Note: If the function fails it generates an E_NOTICE.

     The boolean return value was added in PHP 4.2.0.

   See also ob_start(), ob_get_contents(), and ob_flush().
