PHP即时回声

Question

I have quite a long data mining script, and in parts of it I echo some information to the page (during a foreach loop, actually.)

However I am noticing that the information is being sent to the browse not immediately as I had hoped, but in 'segments'.

Is there some function I can use after my echo to send all the data to the browser immediately?

Thanks.

You probably want flush(). However, PHP may be using output buffering. There are a few ways that this can change things, but in a nutshell, you can flush(), then ob_flush().
