Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.output-add-rewrite-var
---

If ob_start() has already been called and output_add_rewrite_var() is called after that it leads to ob_get_level() == 2.

Manual states that this should be the case only if no buffering is active.

Bug is reproducable in CLI as well as CGI mode.

Test script:
---------------
<?PHP
ob_start();

echo "Fill buffer\n";

output_add_rewrite_var('someParam', 1);

echo "Level: " . ob_get_level() . "\n";

echo ob_get_clean();


Expected result:
----------------
Fill buffer
Level: 1


Actual result:
--------------
Fill buffer
Level: 2

According to <https://3v4l.org/oIpdo>, the behavior has been
changed as of PHP 5.4.0 which may have been done deliberately, in
which case this would be a documentation problem.

You said:

> Manual states that this should be the case only if no buffering is active.

Did you mean this note from the manual?

>> Note: Calling this function will implicitly start output buffering if it is not active already. 

You're right, it could be interpreted that way. 
Unfortunately I didn't interpret it that way 10 years ago when rewriting the output layer.
