Including PHP functions from another file

Question

I would like to access some functions defined in another PHP file, but that file also outputs content that I don\'t want to display.

Is there any way to access the f

Answer 1

You could sneakily buffer the include's output using ob_start() and drop it using ob_end_clean(). This works only if the script doesn't flush the output buffer itself.

The better way would be to extract the needed functions from the include, and put them into a separate file.
