RTFM with more care: ob_end_clean() does not send, but discards the contents of the buffer. You need to use ob_flush() / ob_end_flush() to send the contents of the buffer to the requesting client. > Should these buffer commands go around the include statement?

Once you use the right ob_*() function, I think you'll notice a dramatic improvement in your output :-) Regards, Mahmoud -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
