problems with flush()

[Anon]

I am having issues with flush() The following script worked fine, but then when I shut down and restarted it decided not to work. It does not flush the first echo command to the browser. Can anyone explain..? Cheers!

echo str_repeat(" ", 300) . "\n";
echo '<span id="processing"><br><br><br><br><div align="center"><font size="2" face="verdana"><b>Processing Your Payment...<br><br>Please Wait</b></font></div></span>';

flush();

$passed = FALSE;

for($e = 1; $e < 5; $e++) {
sleep(5);
$res = mysql_query("");
if(mysql_num_rows($res)) {
$passed = TRUE;
break;
}
}

echo "<script>processing.style.display='none'</script>";

if(!$passed) {
die('fail');
} else {
echo 'success';
}

May be, it's because the browser is remembering the style for processing id as 'none';

Try to set style for processing like this:

echo '<span id="processing" style="display:visible"><br><br><br><br><div align="center">Processing Your Payment...<br><br>Please Wait</div></span>';
