embedded s9y: RSS-Feed Problem - SOLVED

Hi everyone,

i have been adjusting s9y's index.php in s9y's installation folder to embed it into my webpage.

<?php ob_start(); ?>

<?php # $Id: index.php,v 1.83 2005/08/19 10:50:36 garvinhicking Exp $

?>


</html>

<?php ob_end_flush(); ?> 

My problem now is that all RSS-Feeds start with the code of my homepage as well, which is of course causing parsing errors and thus rendering them useless.

I tried to find a solution myself, but still being new to php I am quite clueless at the moment. My guess the easiest way to solve it would be to open the XML-Output (which should be the rss.php output itself as far as i understand) itself in a new window.

I would appreciate any hints and helping hands on this issue.

Thanks ahead!

Ok, problem is solved for me now (why do the solutions always come to me after I made a problem public?).

I had tried earlier to manually discard the output buffer's contest, however for some reason this failed and my homepage headers still got printed. On php.net I luckily just found the solution:

while (@ob_end_clean()); 
ob_start();
include_once(S9Y_INCLUDE_PATH . 'rss.php'); 
$data = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

This will erase all data in the output buffer and I get my desired XML Output.

Hope this will still help someone else.

Cheers
