ob_start() prevents form from displaying.

    I am having a problem using output buffering. If I use ob_start() before a form the form does not display, but if I remark the ob_start() line out, the form displays correctly. Can anyone explain why?

    Sorry guys, I don't understand why but when I pasted my code into this request, everything after the line was removed ( a bit like my form dissapears also). Here is the rest of the code after the offending line.

    Hi Guys, in a moment of inspiration I realised why the code did not work. The script I had downloaded did not echo the form after the ob_get_clean(); function. After getting the object and saving it as $form I then needed to echo the form using echo"$form"; very simple really.
