ob_get_status — 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

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
(

    [type] => 0
    [status] => 0
    [name] => URL-Rewriter
    [del] => 1
)
