sleep() question

[Sharif]

Shouldn't this:

echo '<p>Creating Table(s)...</p>';
sleep(3);
echo '<p>Done.</p>';

display creating tables, pause for 3 seconds and then display done?

All it does is pause for 3 seconds and then displays all at once...

you're output is sitting in the buffer during the 3 secs

add a flush(); before the sleep();
