How do I stop PHP output buffering from eating error messages?

Question

Well, now that I\'ve gotten a bit further into it, I realize that this is a stupid question, and wrong. Turns out that the author of the legacy code I maintain was hi-jackin

I've never done this in practice, but this should work:

You would have to build a wrapper around error_log() that

1. stores the output you are buffering using ob_get_contents()
2. erases the output buffer using ob_clean()
3. writes out the error message and ob_flush()es it
4. writes back the stored output using echo()
