Here is what happens... I am skipping a few steps here and there.... etc..
you type url and run.
the broswer finds the server... the server looks at he extension of the
document
and sends the page to the php engine. The engine parses through the doc,
writing to
the buffer (unless told to stream info) The page is completed... the
engine returns an
ok to the server.. the server then dumps the buffer out to the browser.
All through this process there is a live thread between your browser and
the server.
unless you send a cancel.
