I just started to create compatible output buffering in jbj and encountered the following “official” test case:
<?php
echo 0;
ob_start();
ob_start();
ob_start();
ob_start();
echo 1;
ob_end_flush();
echo 2;
$ob = ob_get_clean();
echo 3;
ob_flush();
ob_end_clean();
echo 4;
ob_end_flush();
echo $ob;
?>
Actually I do not see a real-world use-case for this kind of buffer nesting, but it is a nice little brain-gym to guess the output of this snippet.
By the way, it is

Of course … I mean, what would you have expected?
