In php you probably should fill the variable $buffer with the output and then
add these commands:
header ("Content-type: text/plain");
header ("Content-Length: " . strlen($buffer));
echo $buffer;
Alternatively you could try just putting the "Content-type" header in just
before you start your print statements. The header() function sends http
headers to the server and they wouldn't show in the output.
Best,
Jim
