Question

I want PHP to output some text, then sleep for a second and a half, and then output some more text.

<?php

echo 'Output one.';

usleep(1500000);

echo 'Output two.';

?>

My problem is that all text is being put out simultaneously – after having waited those 1.5 seconds. I have read something about a function called flush – but it doesn’t seem to work. Maybe I’m not using it write. Any help would be appreciated ^^

Thanks in advance!
