note 24460 deleted from function.flush by sniper

Note Submitter: Atom@Business-PHP.com ---- Another way to use flush doesn't seem to be documented anywhere: flush(); flush(passthru("/usr/home/joeblow/shellscript ${argument}")); This can cause a script that takes a while to run to be flushing as often as it can, and will update as often as the browser can handle. I don't know if this works on all systems, because I can't find it documented anywhere. Here's an example in action: http://Business-PHP.com/rdns/ Another example also uses the "300 blank spaces" trick, so it should update at every line. http://business-php.com/rdns/flush With most browsers, you can scroll down as it creates a list. Without using flush, must browsers will wait until the page is done before rendering the page.
