RE: [PHP] CLI question

[snip] I'm using the CLI version 4.3.4 on Windows XP Pro. The script I'm writing has only a couple of functions, a couple of "if" conditionals and a "while" loop. At the very top of the script I have an echo statement with a message I want printed to the console window. The problem is that it's not echoed until all of the functions and other stuff is executed. Why is this the case? Anything I can do to get the echo statement to run first thing? [/snip] Use output buffering and flush the echo statement .... http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.flush.php
