note 110378 added to function.sleep

Here is a simplified way to flush output to browser before completing sleep cycle. Note the buffer must be "filled" with 4096 characters (bytes?) for ob_flush() to work before sleep() occurs. <?php ob_implicit_flush(true); $buffer = str_repeat(" ", 4096); echo "see this immediately.<br>"; echo $buffer; ob_flush(); sleep(5); echo "some time has passed"; ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 72.219.182.33 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110378 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110378/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110378/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110378/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110378/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110378/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110378/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110378 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110378 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
