I have recently started using ob_flush(); flush(); to try and update the browser when there is a function that takes a while to process. It seems like this has been causing functionality problems in other areas of the script though.
Does flush/ob_flush clear php files or do anything that would cause the script to function differently besides flushing the output?
I'm not sure if I'm confused. From the sounds of it the buffer is just the html/outputed data that is going to the browser.
Could someone also confirm that I'm using the flush functions for the right reason, which is to update the clients browser so it doesn't timeout?
Thanks in advance,
Justin
