Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
You should've used ob_end_flush(); instead of ob_implicit_flush();.

Please note that the manual says this:
"Turning implicit flushing on will disable output buffering, the output
buffers current output will be sent as if ob_end_flush() had been
called."
Now, I've set output_buffering = 0 in my php.ini script, so supposedly
ob_implicit_flush will flush any buffers started by the script itself,
and continue flushing output thereafter. Try this:
<?PHP
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(1);
while(1)
{
print "Hi!";
sleep(1);
}
?>
This script will not output "Hi!" after each iteration through the
loop. Supposedly the documented behavior of ob_implicit_flush is to
flush all output buffers once it's called, and disable output buffering
for further statements that produce output (print, etc.)
So either the documentation is wrong, or there's a bug in
ob_implicit_flush. You decide.
