PHP output buffering callback yielding blank scree

Question

Here is the code:

 ob_start(array(&$dispatcher, 'outputCallback')); 
 include($file);
 ob_end_flush();

 function outputCallback($string) {
    if(ob_get_level() == 1) { 
        $static =& ParserStatic::getInstance();
        return $static->insertToppings($string);
    }
    return false;
  }

The problem is when I return $string it behaves OK, but when it executes the object assignment, it gives a blank screen. What's going wrong?

Have you tried checking your web server's error log to see if PHP is throwing an error? That should help you identify the cause of the problem.
