[SOLVED] Output Buffering problem

[Asheeown]

ob_start();
for($i=0; $i < 10; $i++)
{
    echo $i . ' ';
ob_flush();
flush();
sleep(1);
} 

 

Does not output 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 incrementally it waits till the script is done loading and then displays it.  Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong, I have done this before but I can't figure it out.

This isn't something you can do with php. It's a server side script, it will run that script as you've written it, then output everything at the same time.

That's not true, as I've said I have done this before.  As information is released into the buffer it will push it into display.

That's not true

 

OK

Oh really, then try this out

 

if (ob_get_level() == 0) ob_start();
for($i=0; $i < 10; $i++)
{
    echo $i . ' ';
   ob_flush();
   flush();
   sleep(1);
} 
ob_end_flush();

 

Thanks for not helping btw.

For what you are exactly using this (just for curiosity)?

I'm writing a linux shared hosting server migration tool.  I want it to look nice and display all results instantaneously.  Plus it's part of a new thing I'm doing where my web apps are more like actual applications.
