Question

I search a way to refresh display more often on a long script.
I.e. :

for($i=0;$i<=100000;$i++) {

<!-- 
some long process code 
-->

echo 'content:'.$i.' - ';

}

I launch it on Chrome. Currently, echo data appeared every 30 seconds. I would like a shorter delay for the refreshing echo display.

Thanks for your time.

To push script’s output to the browser call flush() periodically, i.e:

for($i=0;$i<=100000;$i++) {
  echo 'content:'.$i.' - ';

  if( $i%100 ) {
    flush();
  }
}
