<para>
This function discards the contents of the topmost output buffer and turns
off this output buffering. If you want to further process the buffer's
contents you have to call <function>ob_get_contents</function> before
<function>ob_end_clean</function> as the buffer contents are discarded
when <function>ob_end_clean</function> is called.
</para>
<para>
The output buffer must be started by
<function>ob_start</function> with <link
linkend="constant.php-output-handler-cleanable">PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CLEANABLE</link>
and <link
linkend="constant.php-output-handler-removable">PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_REMOVABLE</link>
flags. Otherwise <function>ob_end_clean</function> will not work.
</para>

<refsect1 role="returnvalues">
&reftitle.returnvalues;
<para>
&return.success; Reasons for failure are first that you called the
function without an active buffer or that for some reason a buffer could
not be deleted (possible for special buffer).

If the function fails it generates an <constant>E_NOTICE</constant>.

The following example shows an easy way to get rid of all output buffers:
