The output won't actually be different unless you have turned on zlib.output_compression or output_buffering in your php.ini file. Both of these are off by default. Without these PHP will not do any buffering. The only buffering you see is done by Apache and this buffering happens in your static file case as well. It is natural that a static file version of a big complex page will render faster than the PHP-generated one. You can ask Apache to flush its internal buffer by using the flush() call from PHP, but it really isn't advised to do that too often. Apache is buffering in order to spew out full TCP packets for maximum efficiency. Using flush() defeats that and your application end-to-end page delivery time will increase. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
