RE: [PHP] Streaming

Thanks for this, but how do I use it? Do I just put the ob_end_clean() at the opening the page I want to stream and then put flush() at the end?

" and "Pad your output with necessary spaces, wrap your progressing data around open (<table>) and end (</table>) tags, and then call flush() so that one script will work for Netscape as well.
