What are some alternative methods to flush() and ob_start() for controlling output in PHP scripts?
Issue: If you want to control the output in PHP scripts without using flush() and ob_start(), you can use output buffering with ob_get_clean() to capture the output and manipulate it before sending it to the browser.
// Start output buffering
ob_start();
// Output your content
echo "Hello, World!";
// Capture the output and manipulate it
$output = ob_get_clean();
// Manipulate the output
$output = strtoupper($output);
// Send the manipulated output to the browser
echo $output;
