Bug #15646 Updated: the flush() does not flush the output buffer

ID: 15646 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported By: kewl@compfort.pl -Status: Open +Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Windows 2000 SP2 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: flush feature is needed to be fixed ;) If you really need to flush, do not use output buffering. (Without output buffering, PHP always outputs immediately when output is issued) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-21 04:55:32] kewl@compfort.pl another $0.02: i compiled PHP succesfully using cygwin environment and it works just fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-20 12:01:15] kewl@compfort.pl BTW i found one bug report regarding similar problem, but the answer blamed the webserver buffering the output. its not the case in this situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-20 11:45:00] kewl@compfort.pl here is the code i ran with command-line version of php: <? $asd=0; do { printf("asd: %d\n",$asd); flush(); sleep(1); $asd++;}while ($asd<5); ?> if it is executed on linux, it works as expected, that is it displays asd every second. on windows though, i only see the whole output after 5 seconds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15646&edit=1
