Very quick question about programming practices here:
I've always used echo() to output HTML code to the user as soon as it was generated, and used ob_start() at the same time to be able to output headers later in the code. Recently, I was made aware that this is bad programming practice and I should be saving HTML output until the end.
Is there a reason for this? What is it, and why isn't output buffering a good alternative?
Thanks!
