Server Flush Problem

[oconkero]

OK here it is people, ive got a problem with the server. I dont know precisely as to which component its with... server configuration most likely. The problem is that i can output something on a page flush it with php to output that txt and then sleep and the output more text. and this script should do that, right?

 

<?php
echo("Sleeping for 3 seconds.");
flush();
sleep(3);
echo("Done.");
?>

 

But it does not do what it is ment to do, it instead of doing piece by piece loads all at once, but it takes well in this case 3 seconds to load... like if i goto the page it will be blank for 3 seconds then all of the text just pops up at once. Well i hope this is enough info for you all, and thanks in advance people, i know this is a wierd one.

Hey,

 

I am pretty new at this but i had the same thing the other day, I just added ob_flush(); before the normal flush and it works fine...

 

<?php

echo("Sleeping for 3 seconds.");

ob_flush();

flush();

sleep(3);

echo("Done.");

?>

 

Hold on, I will find the thing I read, cause it mentioned some config stuff you could do to change it too...

something about mod_gzip... Here you go
