Sending output to a file

[Xizor]

Lets say I got something simple like:

<?php

echo "yo";
echo "word";

?>

I want all those echos to write to a file instead of printing to the screen
without changing to a different function. Sort of like how in Unix you can
do ./my_prog < file1 to output to a file. In this case I want it all to be
done in code. For example, something like:

<?php

output_to_file_ instead_of_scre en();

echo "yo";
echo "word";

output_to_scree n();

?>

If I got it right, you don't want to use a switch in the function for
echo() and fwrite(). In this case you could use output buffering. Your
program can catch the output and write it to a file at the end of the
script. Have a look at the output control functions at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php.

Re: Sending output to a file

I did look at the manual. I looked under file functions and streams (cause C
did this with streams). Didn't see it in either. Matthias pointed out the
output control functions, which I missed. Thanks to him, not to you.

Well, I think Ian got the question wrong.

Hope this output control works for you.
