using Output Buffering

[Anon]

I would like to display before of my script is fully ended at the server. I am using the function flush() but it doesn´t work. I´ve got IE 5 and I think that server operative system is windows NT 4. Could you help me?. I don´t know what I must to do because it seems like this function is not working properly (I don´t know). I don´t know if I don´t understand how it works.

Thanks a million, Daniel.

I apologize because of my english.

Your english is fine!

The flush() function should work, and I'm surprised that it doesn't. This does, however, mean that there's no way you can flush output during the script.

ob_implicit_flush(true) says it will implicitly flush every bit of output (same as saying flush() after every echo or print).

See if that works. If not, you're screwed 🙂

thanks a million!!!

The thing is with flush() and ob_implicit_flush(true) I have no errors but I display all the code in once. I don´t know why. I don´t wanna do this.

Best regards, Daniel

So what exactly do you want? 🙂

Flush and ob_implicit_flush(true) just dump the output currently buffered in PHP to the client's browser. ob_implicit_flush(true) does this after EVERY command, so as soon as it's ready to be displayed, it will be.

It seems that your windows web server doesn't support flush().

This from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flush.php

Note: flush() has no effect on the buffering scheme of your webserver or the browser on the client side.

Several servers, especially on Win32, will still buffer the output from your script until it terminates before transmitting the results to the browser.
