I just put it into my script, and it doesn't seem to be working. I put ob_end_clean(); at the top of the script, but here's the while loop I have:
while($db->next_record()): echo '<b>'.$db->Record["user"].':</b> '; $sql = "SELECT emote, image FROM c_emotes"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $db->linkid); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $emotes[] = $row['emote']; $images[] = "<img src='".$row['image']."'>"; } if($db->Record['system'] != 1) { $message = htmlentities($db->Record["text"]); } else { $message = $db->Record["text"]; } $message = str_replace($emotes, $images, $message); echo $message."<br>\n"; flush(); endwhile; It displays just fine if you refresh, but unless you refresh, you don't see any new data. Any ideas?

Basically, after every echo or group of echos. On Thu, 24 Jun 2004 16:43:39 -0500, Stephen Craton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks for this, but how do I use it?
