I got this to work with both techniques suggested.
Alexei suggested:
ob_start();
do_something();
print ob_get_clean();
Paul suggested:
would $result = print_r($var, 1); do the trick?
this works:
print print_r(do_something(), true);
I personally favour Alan's suggestion as can run in one line without
interrupting the current output buffer.
However both techniques work perfectly.
This is why I love user groups!
Thanks
