how to redirect STDOUT to a file in PHP?

Question

The code below almost works, but it\'s not what I really meant:

ob_start();
echo \'xxx\';
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
file_put_contents($f         


        

Answer 1

here's a way to divert OUTPUT which appears to be the original problem

$ob_file = fopen('test.txt','w');

function ob_file_callback($buffer)
{
  global $ob_file;
  fwrite($ob_file,$buffer);
}

ob_start('ob_file_callback');
