Is there any way to check if an output buffer is activated or not? In one of my classes I run ob_start() in the constructor. In case the function for getting the buffer and ending it hasn't been called when the destructor is called I want the destructor to erase the buffer and end it.

In short, I need some thing like the following

PHP Code:

if ("output buffer is still activated") {
   ob_end_clean();
} 


Thanks!

In the class constructor function, do something like the following:

global $output_buffer;

$output_buffer = true;
ob_start();

. . . .


Then in your other function, check if it is active:

PHP Code:

function outputBuffer()
{
  global $output_buffer;
 
  if (isset($output_buffer) AND $output_buffer === true)
  {
    return true;
  }
  else
  {
    return false;
  }
} 


Oh, right. Why didn't I think of that? :P
But I still feel like there probably is some way of calling another ob_something() function to check weather or not it's active. Really doesn't matter though, thanks!

It's just there, in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-get-status.php

I acctually looked in the manual, I always do, but couldn't find it. Thanks a lot!

hmmm, I didn't even know that was in there - Thats one thing I like about PHP, it's so packed with built-in features, you can never stop learning new things about it!
