Outputting data without echo/print

Well I'd like to see how inventive you all are in outputting data to the screen without using echo or print or C hooks (Alan)

Here goes my try

PHP Code:


		
			


function newecho($text)

{

     $path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/file.html';

     file_put_contents($path,$text);

     include_once($path);

}

Can't beat good ol' streams :-)

PHP Code:


		
			
function newecho($text)

{

    $output = fopen('php://output', 'w');

    fputs($output, $text);

}

It might be kinda lame but there is always var_dump();.

PHP Code:


		
			
$myVar = 'TalkPHP';
var_dump($myVar);

If we're going to be lame then there's printf, too!

php Code:

printf('%s', 'TalkPHP');

Long live the geniuses.

Damn it, you beat me to it.

PHP Code:


		
			
$name = 'TalkPHP';
$threads = 1365;
$posts = 10486;
$members = 1892;

$myString = "%1\$s current stats: Threads: %2\$s, Posts: %3\$s, Members: %4\$s";

printf($myString, $name, $threads, $posts, $members);

He didn't say using only PHP. I guess that what Salathe was getting at.

It outputs data without using print/echo. Put it in a .php file and try for yourself.

Don't forget sprinf() and fprintf()! :-P

You could also use include(), include_once(), require() , and require_once().

There is always this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

die("Hello World!");

?>

It would cause problems if you wanted to execute code after that though...

PHP Code:


		
			
<?= "Hello World." ?>
