New Comment:
This is a documentation problem.
Unlike the manual says, ob_implicit_flush() does neither end output
buffering, nor does it flush the current output buffer.
It just causes a flush() when something actually gets written to the
webserver.

Same thing:
php5.1-200602151530$ sapi/cgi/php -q
<?
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(true);
var_dump(ob_end_flush());
?>
bool(true)
Another test:
php5.1-200602151530$ sapi/cgi/php -q
<?
ob_start();
echo "hello\n";
ob_implicit_flush(true);
echo "bye\n";
ob_end_clean();
?>
(no output)
The ob_implicit_flush() function is not disabling output buffering or
sending the current output as the documentation says it should.

Description:
------------
The documentation for ob_implicit_flush says that
"Turning implicit flushing on will disable output buffering, the output
buffers current output will be sent as if ob_end_flush() had been
called."
This is not the case.
If this is indeed the correct behavior, please update the documentation
to reflect that and add an example such as the following:
ob_implicit_flush(true);
while (@ob_end_flush());
Reproduce code:
---------------
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(true);
var_dump(ob_end_flush());
Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
