push output, flush?

[mrdance]

I have a script that takes about 7 minutes to complete. Meanwhile I would like to push status to the browser. I thought flush would be the function to use but it isn´t working for me. I use IE 5.5. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Did you include the full statement?
<?
flush();
?>

I used this example;

<?
for ($n=0; $n<5; $n++)
{
print ("Calculating<BR>");
flush ();
sleep (3);

}
?>

after 15 seconds the whole pages displays...

Does your PHP perhaps have "output buffering" switched on?

Try this:

I assume it should be switched on?! I tried both. Is it in my Apache webserver?
