Setting STDOUT in program

Hi!

Is there a way to set STDOUT in a PHP script dynamically (by command
line argument,...)? I have large blocks of non-PHP-code (outside <?
php... ?>) and I don't want to use "print" for all these lines.

Greetings,

Markus

be printed anyway.

Anything outside <?php ?blocks will go to PHP's STDOUT (possible
captured in output buffers if you like). On the command line you can
simple direct the STDOUT (and/or STDERR) to whatever you like...

Yes, I know that. But how can I redirect the script's output to a
file, if I call the script from command line and if I don't want to
use pipes?

Not sure what you're asking. STDOUT can be redirected in most shells to a
file using a construction like this:

php myscript.php >somefile.html

Or piped into STDIN of some other program using:

php myscript.php | someprogram

This is supported in bash, csh, zsh -- any shell I can think of. Even
DOS's COMMAND.COM.

You can't. That's the purpose of pipes.

You can buffer the output and write that to a file, but that's about it.

And please don't top post. Thanks.

Firstly, please quote correctly. Quote only the part of the post to which
you reply, and then place your reply underneath it.

Secondly, what have you got against pipes?

Lastly, ob_start() is what you want.
