note 95164 added to function.sleep

I hope this code will help somebody to solve the problem of not being able to flush or output the buffer to the browser (I use IE7). It may work for you with just [ echo str_repeat(".", 4096); ] and without even using ob_... and flush. <?php ob_start(); ob_implicit_flush(true); //[ OR ] echo "..."; ob_flush(); flush(); set_time_limit(0); function sleep_echo($secs) { $secs = (int) $secs; $buffer = str_repeat(".", 4096); //echo $buffer."\r\n<br />\r\n"; for ($i=0; $i<$secs; $i++) { echo date("H:i:s", time())." (".($i+1).")"."\r\n<br />\r\n".$buffer."\r\n<br />\r\n"; ob_flush(); flush(); sleep(1); //usleep(1000000); } } sleep_echo(30); ob_end_flush(); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 96.30.31.76 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95164 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95164/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95164/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95164/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95164/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95164/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95164/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95164 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95164 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
