ob_get_status

Description

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.

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
