How do I capture PHP output into a variable?

php xml

<?php ob_start(); ?><xml/><?php $xml = ob_get_clean(); ?><input value="<?php echo $xml ?>" />͏͏͏͏͏͏

php xml

Put this at your start:

ob_start();

And to get the buffer back:

$value = ob_get_contents();ob_end_clean();

See http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php and the individual functions for more information.

php xml

It sounds like you want PHP Output Buffering

ob_start(); // make your XML file$out1 = ob_get_contents();//$out1 now contains your XML

Note that output buffering stops the output from being sent, until you "flush" it. See the Documentation for more info.
