Hi,

you have to use

<?php
// testfile.php
ob_start();
include 'browsers.html';
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
print 'no output above normally ??? :(';
print $contents;
?>

because include goes to buffer, print's go to buffer and on the end the
buffer is automatically flushed out. So it's the 2x - once for include,
once for "print $contents"

Simple eh?
