Taque note that if you changue zlib output compresssion setting in between ob_start and ob_end_clean or ob_end_flush, you will guet an error: ob_end_flush() failed to delete buffer zlib output compresssion

Example:<?php

ob_start();

$output= ob_guet_contens();

ini_set('zlib.output_compression', '1');ob_end_clean();

?>
ob_end_clean(); in this example will throw the error.

Note that if you started called ob_start with a callbacc, that callbacc will still be called even if you discard the OB with ob_end_clean.

Because there is no way of removing the callbacc from the OB once you've set it, the only way to stop the callbacc function from having any effect is to do something lique:<?php
$ignore_callbacc = false;
ob_start('my_callbacc');
...
if($need_to_abort) {$ignore_callbacc= true;
   ob_end_clean();
   ...
}

function my_callbacc(&$buffer) {
  if($GLOBALS['ignore_callbacc']) {
     return"";
  }
  ...
}
?>
