Re: sockets and flush()

Hmmm I'm no expert on web IO between Apache and PHP, but my guess is that Apache is holding the data and waiting for more. To verify this I recommend that you try running from a shell cgi and see if your string is flushed to stdio as it should. I remember running into a similar problem one time while performing a remote file(). Cheers, Rob.
