As far as I'm aware PHP does output to stdout. Whether or not we can actually access that stream is another question, and one I don't know the answer to.
However, I do have a suggestion... Have you looked at the output buffering functions? They seem to implement what you're trying to do... http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php HTH, Richy -----Original Message----- From: Paul H. Breslin [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 December 2001 07:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Standard output (printf) question... I'm trying to create a function that will generate output that could go to either a file or to the current browser directly. To do this I have something like: function GenerateOutput($out) { fwrite($out, "Some stuff"); fflush($out); } and to call it I tried: $stdout = fopen("php://stdout", "w"); GenerateOutput($stdout); But for some reason nothing shows in the browser when I do this. I can't seem to find information about what output stream "printf" is actually writing to. Do we have access to this stream? Can anyone provide a hint as to why the above doesn't work? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________________ Paul H.
