there are printf()s in there. Just use output control to capture all the output from that and return that. That's the easiest way.

look into these:

ob_start()
ob_get_clean()

okay bro, i really appreciate the help. Here is where I'm at. I got ob_start to submit the info, but i can't get both ob_start and substr to work at the same time.

Code: Select all

function callback($buffer)
{

  return substr($buffer,96,100); 
}

ob_start("callback");


render_news('http://www.surfline.com/rss/region.cfm?alias=cocoabeachcam', false, news, news2,1); 


$report = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_flush();
this works in that it sends the output of render_news, but its not working on substr

thanks

render_news('http://www.surfline.com/rss/region.cfm?alias=cocoabeachcam', false, news, news2,1);
$report = substr(ob_get_clean(),96,100);

// Now write $report to a file
