Synopsis
void ob_start([string callback])
Turns on output buffering, which causes all output to be accumulated
in a buffer instead of being sent directly to the browser. If
callback is specified, it is a function
(called before sending the output buffer to the client) that can
modify the data in any way; the ob_gzhandler( )
function is provided to compress the output buffer in a client-aware
manner. See Chapter 13 for more information on
using the output buffer.
