# ob_get_status

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)

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

`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:level
Value:Output nesting level
Key:type
Value:PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_INTERNAL (0) or PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_USER (1)
Key:status
Value:One of PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_START (0), PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CONT (1) or PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_END (2)
Key:name
Value:Name of active output handler or ' default output handler' if none is set
Key:del
Value: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
            )

    )
