Flushing Output

Is there a way of flushing output to the browser. So for example, I have a script that checks things in a database, every check, or every hundred checks it would be nice to output something to the browser.. currently it finishes what it does, or after a minute or so it then shows the final page with the output.. I hope that made sense :) Cheers! Rick I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity. - George Sand
