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

No, output buffering is as good as it gets. Though it's slightly nicer to just do

ob_start();
echo 'xxx';
$contents = ob_get_flush();
file_put_contents($file,$contents);
