php - output buffering ob_get_contents not returning anything -

i trying generate static html php however, cannot output $page, ideas? cheers

ob_start(); $pageident = $tempdbid;    include 'newpagegenerator.php'; $page  = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); 

you need output using echo statement.

ob_start(); $pageident = $tempdbid;    include 'newpagegenerator.php'; $page  = ob_get_contents(); echo $page;//<----- echo here ob_end_clean();
