I may be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure that, being server side, PHP
sends the HTML to the browser all at once...also, the browser needs a static
HTML page to load up...it can't take a line and output as it goes...maybe
i'm wrong, but i thought that was basically how it works, so you couldn't do
the sleep thing you wanted...
anyone else?

I've tried those 2 functions, in an example like this:
PRINT "This<br>";
SLEEP(2) ;
PRINT "Is a<br>";
SLEEP(2);
PRINT "TEST";
But the way it works in the browser is to wait for a total of 4 seconds
and then it displays all the text at once, not one line at a time -
which is what I'm after.
