Re: [PHP] Standard output (printf) question...
Thanks Richard, I don't think the output buffering does what I want. I want to be able to do something like this: if( $preview_mode ) $output = fopen("php://stdout", "w"); else $output = fopen("/some/file/path/soemwhere.html", "w"); GenerateOutput($output); hmmm wait, maybe you're right. I guess I could grab the contents of the output buffer and write it to the file instead of to stdout. Kind of an indirect way of doing it. Not like C/C++. Thanks for the pointer.

RE: [PHP] Standard output (printf) question...
As far as I'm aware PHP does output to stdout. Whether or not we can actually access that stream is another question, and one I don't know the answer to. However, I do have a suggestion... Have you looked at the output buffering functions? They seem to implement what you're trying to do... http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php HTH, Richy -Original Message- From: Paul H. Breslin [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 December 2001 07:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Standard output (printf) question... I'm trying to create a function that will generate output that could go to either a file or to the current browser directly. To do this I have something like: function GenerateOutput($out) { fwrite($out, "Some stuff"); fflush($out); } and to call it I tried: $stdout = fopen("php://stdout", "w"); GenerateOutput($stdout); But for some reason nothing shows in the browser when I do this. I can't seem to find information about what output stream "printf" is actually writing to. Do we have access to this stream? Can anyone provide a hint as to why the above doesn't work?

[PHP] Standard output (printf) question...
I'm trying to create a function that will generate output that could go to either a file or to the current browser directly. To do this I have something like: function GenerateOutput($out) { fwrite($out, "Some stuff"); fflush($out); } and to call it I tried: $stdout = fopen("php://stdout", "w"); GenerateOutput($stdout); But for some reason nothing shows in the browser when I do this. I can't seem to find information about what output stream "printf" is actually writing to. Do we have access to this stream? Can anyone provide a hint as to why the above doesn't work?
