PHP Manual: Get status of output buffers

Description

array ob_get_status ([ bool $full_status = FALSE ] )

ob_get_status returns status information on either the top level output buffer or all active output buffer levels if full_status is set to TRUE.

Parameters

full_status: TRUE to return all active output buffer levels. If FALSE or not set, only the top level output buffer is returned.

Return Values

If called without the full_status parameter or with full_status = FALSE a simple array with the following elements is returned:

Array
(
    [level] => 2
    [type] => 0
    [status] => 0
    [name] => URL-Rewriter
    [del] => 1
)

**Simple ob_get_status results**
Key	Value
level	Output nesting level
type	PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_INTERNAL (0) or PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_USER (1)
status	One of PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_START (0), PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CONT (1) or PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_END (2)
name	Name of active output handler or ' default output handler' if none is set
del	Erase-flag as set by ob_start

If called with full_status = TRUE an array with one element for each active output buffer level is returned. The output level is used as key of the top level array and each array element itself is another array holding status information on one active output level.

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [chunk_size] => 0
            [size] => 40960
            [block_size] => 10240
            [type] => 1
            [status] => 0
            [name] => default output handler
            [del] => 1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [chunk_size] => 0
            [size] => 40960
            [block_size] => 10240
            [type] => 0
            [buffer_size] => 0
            [status] => 0
            [name] => URL-Rewriter
            [del] => 1
        )

)

The full output contains these additional elements:
