I see I seem to have explained what you already know. Sorry! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-06 05:58:31] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php That script is working exactly as expected, and the call to ob_flush() is exactly the expected solution. implicit_flush has no relation to ob_flush(), or output buffers in general. There are indeed two layers of output buffering, but, slightly confusingly, only one of them is called "output buffering" -- this is the layer handled by the ob_*() functions. If output buffering is on, it works like this: output goes to (script's) output buffer (ob). ob_flush() sends it to PHP's "connection" buffer. flush() (or implicit_flush) sends connection buffer to browser. If you want to use flush() or implicit_flush to send output to the browser as it's produced, you'd be much better to turn output buffering off. (You could also take a look at ob_implicit_flush() (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-implicit-flush.php), but it seems to me this would be rather inefficient.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-05 18:21:27] sthomas at townnews dot com I think the key is this: implicit_flush => On => Off Is there a double internal pointer to this setting or something? No amount of setting implicit_flush will make both of them true. This script does not output as you'd expect: <?PHP ob_implicit_flush(1); while (TRUE) { echo ".\n"; sleep(1); } ?> This should output a period every second on the CLI, but does not. Even putting a call to flush() in the while loop does nothing. I was able to get this to work by using ob_flush() oddly enough. So essentially, flushing is completely broken unless you use ob_flush. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
