The output control function does not affect the header information sent using header () or Setcookie (), only data blocks that resemble Echo () and PHP code are useful.
Let's start with a simple example that gives you a general impression of the output control:
Example 1.
Copy CodeThe code is as follows:
Ob_start (); Open buffer
echo \ "Hellon\"; Output
Header ("location:index.php"); redirect the browser to index.php
Ob_end_flush ();//output all content to the browser
?>
All people who know about the header () function know that this function sends a file header to the browser, but if there are any outputs (including null output, such as spaces, carriage returns, and line feeds) before using this function, an error is indicated. If we get rid of the first line of Ob_start () and execute the program, we'll find an error message: "Header had all ready to send by"! But with Ob_start, there is no hint of error, because when the buffer is opened, the character behind the echo is not output to the browser, but remains on the server until you use flush or ob_end_flush to output, so there will be no file header output error!
Introduction of related functions:
1, Flush: Flush the contents of the buffer, output.
function format: Flush ()
Description: This function is often used and is highly efficient.
2. Ob_start: Open Output buffer
function format: void Ob_start (void)
Note: When the buffer is active, all non-file header information from the PHP program is not sent, but is saved in the internal buffer. In order to output the contents of the buffer, you can use the contents of the Ob_end_flush () or flush () output buffers.
3. Ob_get_contents: Returns the contents of the internal buffer.
How to use: String ob_get_contents (void)
Description: This function returns the contents of the current buffer and returns FALSE if the output buffer is not activated.
4. Ob_get_length: Returns the length of the internal buffer.
How to use: int ob_get_length (void)
Note: This function returns the length of the current buffer, as with ob_get_contents, if the output buffer is not activated. FALSE is returned.
5. Ob_end_flush: Sends the contents of the internal buffer to the browser, and closes the output buffer.
How to use: void Ob_end_flush (void)
Description: This function sends the contents of the output buffer (if any).
6. Ob_end_clean: Delete the contents of the internal buffer and close the internal buffer
How to use: void Ob_end_clean (void)
Description: This function does not output the contents of the internal buffer but deletes it!
7. Ob_implicit_flush: Turn absolute refresh on or off
How to use: void Ob_implicit_flush ([int flag])
Description: People who have used Perl know the meaning of $|=x, this string can open/close the buffer, and the Ob_implicit_flush function is the same, the default is to close the buffer, open the absolute output, each script output is sent directly to the browser, no longer need to call flush ()
Second, in-depth understanding:
1. About the Flush function:
This function appears in PHP3, is a very efficient function, and he has a very useful function is to refresh the browser cache. Let's give an example of a very obvious running effect that illustrates flush.
Example 2.
Copy CodeThe code is as follows:
for ($i = 1; $i <=, $i + +) print ("");
This sentence is very key, the structure of the cache so that its content can only reach a certain size to be exported from the browser
In other words, if the content of the cache does not reach a certain size, it will not be output until the program finishes executing. By
After testing, I found that the bottom limit of this size is 256 characters in length. This means that content received by the cache will be
The stream was sent out.
for ($j = 1; $j <=; $j + +) {
echo $j. "
";
Flush (); This will cause the cache additions to be squeezed out and displayed on the browser
Sleep (1); Let the program "Sleep" a second, will let you see the effect more clearly
}
