How does the output_buffering setting in php.ini affect PHP scripts and potential errors like the one mentioned in the forum thread?

The output_buffering setting in php.ini affects how PHP scripts handle output buffering. When output buffering is enabled, PHP will hold the output in memory until the script finishes executing, which can prevent headers from being sent prematurely. This can help avoid errors related to headers already being sent, such as the one mentioned in the forum thread. To solve this issue, you can enable output buffering in your PHP script by setting the output_buffering directive to "On" in your php.ini file. 

// Enable output buffering in PHP script
<?php
ob_start();
?>
