<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_flush</function> is called.
The function returns &true; when it successfully
discarded one buffer and &false; otherwise. 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).
</para>
<para>
The following example shows an easy way to get rid of all output buffers:

<example>
<title><function>ob_end_clean</function> example</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
while (@ob_end_clean());
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<note>
<simpara>
If the function fails it generates an E_NOTICE.
</simpara>
<simpara>
The boolean return value was added in PHP 4.2.0.
