note 85383 added to function.ob-flush

I just had some problems with flush() and ob_flush(). What I did to resolve this problem took me some time to figure out so I'd like to share what I came up with. The main problem is the php setting "output_buffering" which can be set too large and will prevent your text from outputting. To change this value you can either set it in php.ini or you can add the line php_value output_buffering "0" to your .htaccess file. It will not work with ini_set() since it is PHP_INI_PERDIR. Next thing is to begin with ob_start(); Then you need ob_flush(); flush(); before any echo or print. Your code might look like this: <?php ob_start(); for($i=0;$i<70;$i++) { echo 'printing...<br />'; ob_flush(); flush(); usleep(300000); } ?> Hope this helps anyone with the same problems. ---- Server IP: 212.63.193.10 Probable Submitter: 213.114.185.215 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-flush.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85383 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85383/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85383/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85383/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85383/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85383/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85383/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85383 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85383 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
