Excellent demonstration. I needed to capture the echo outputs from within a bunch of includes, this is precisely what I was looking for. Thanks for posting(and posting reference links – very helpful).

@wp_user, thanks for that tip. The specific WordPress example I used was to illustrate how to do the general task of capturing the output of echo() into a local variable.

Thanks, just saved me a lot of time and effort figuring this out for myself. I didn’t know where to look in the php documentation for such functions!
