using output buffering 2

[dcabreraes]

I am doing this simple code:

<?php
print "a
";

print "b
";

flush();
sleep(5);

print "c
";

?>
The thing is I have the output in the screen in once. I wanna see a and b before c at screen. This doesn´t work, I don´t know why.

Could you help me?

Hi,

this might be a helpful resource:

You might need a longer delay for it to be noticable amongst the download delay? There also may be cacheing/buffering going on somewhere in between.

You might be better off using something client-side (i hate to suggest javascript, but....)
