I d like to see some new function in php working with output buffering and headers
i really like to change the headers that are send elsewhere in the script and/or by php


maybe you can make these functions:

$raw = ob_get_headers();
headers as the way the go to the client (separated by \n?)

$array = ob_get_headers_array();
$array like:
$headers[content-type] = "text/plain"

and ob_clean_headers
to put all the current headers in /dev/null

i can use the functions for:
1. the sessions i made in php
2. to compress pages as gzip

and i guess there a a lot of other options other can/will think about

caps (efnet/#php) started making these functions somethime but he run out of time before he could finsh the (he got it working for cgi without killing childs :)

i'm not a c programmer (it there where i 48 hours in a day i could learn it :)
so i'am asking i someone / you can make them please

since you can put headers (with outputbuffering on) after your html (and so are stored somewhere in memmory) i guess it would be to hard to change/clean them and so making those function

Anyway i would be real glad i someone could do this

script would look kinda this:
<?
  ob_start();
  header("content-type: text/html");

  ...

  $headers = ob_get_headers();
  Ob_Clean_Headers();'

  $headers[content-type] = "text/plain";
  //output new headers

  ...
?>


Tnx in advance
