I've got this script where it does some calculations and at the end it calls itself again. In internet explorer, all of my echo statements that I'm using for debugging are showing up on the screen. They don't show up when I'm using firefox. Does anyone else know what's up with this?


Thanx,
Danny

It might help if you posted the offending script.
I didn't post a script because it's happining on a lot of mine. Here's a generic (and otherwise useless) example of my scripts.



this is called my_script.php
[code]<?php

session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
include("functions.php");


$taco = $_SESSION['taco'];
$taco_count = $_SESSION['taco_count'];

echo "Here is taco: $taco<br>";
$taco_count++;

$_SESSION['taco_count'] = $taco_count;
?>

<html>

    <head>
    
        <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
            window.location="my_script.php";
        </script>
        --/>
    </head>
</html>[/code]

In IE I'll See this:(assuming I defined taco in an earlier script)

Here is taco: Chicken

And I'd see that every time the script calls itself. But in firefox, it won't display that line.

Know what I mean?


It must be because this statement: echo "Here is taco: $taco<br>";
is before your <html> tag and firefox doesn't like that. It would display in firefox if you put in a <body> tag and put it after that. What you have is basically invalid html and IE is more forgiving of invalid html. No problem with the echo statement, a problem with invalid html.
No, that's not it. I have many scripts that output debugging text before the <html> tag and they all work fine in both MSIE & FF. What's probably happening is that the output is being buffered is never getting actually written to the screen. Try using the [a href=\"http://www.php.net/flush\" target=\"_blank\"]flush[/a]() function after your debug output.
