How does output buffering affect the inclusion of images in PHP files?

Output buffering can affect the inclusion of images in PHP files because when output buffering is enabled, the image data might get buffered along with the rest of the output, causing it to be corrupted or not displayed properly. To solve this issue, you can disable output buffering before including images in your PHP files.

<?php
// Disable output buffering
ob_end_clean();

// Include image file
echo '<img src="image.jpg" alt="Image">';

// Re-enable output buffering if needed
ob_start();
?>
