ob_get_status

Get status of output buffers

&reftitle.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;.

&reftitle.parameters;

`full_status`

- &true; to return all active output buffer levels. If &false; or not set, only the top level output buffer is returned.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

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 `0` (internal handler) or `1` (user supplied handler)
- 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:
