You could do ob_start(); include '...'; ob_end_clean();, but it turns out that die() (say, in a custom error handler) () causes an implicit buffer flush. So it's not a foolproof solution.

You can attach a callback to the buffer to prevent that implicit flush.

    ob_start(function() {});

Thanks, I'll investingate and probably adopt it for my code :D
