echo while running?

[laborspy]

I have a large script that runs 58 commands at once. As a result the page takes forever to load. Is there anyway to display some of the results while the script is running?

PHP is a server-side script. It is basically building your HTML page. Once the HTML is done, it will then send it to your client. You might consider breaking up your function into different pages, if it's that important to display information before the rest of the data is calculated.

You can try flushing after the output. IE doesn't display until it gets a certain amount of text, so you can shunt out your data, then follow it by a 1k HTML comment full of random gibberish, then flush.

Obviously this isn't the nicest solution in the world, but if the script's just for you during development it could be good for you.

IE needs 255 chars before it flushes... try using spaces....
