flush

what is " flush"?

[Teranoz]

Normally a webserver parses the whole code and than sends the output to the client.
With flush(); you send what you have parsed
Handy for pages with a lot of content.

<?php
blabla code
flush();
blabla more code
flush();
?>

thanks ternoz..

so flush and print have same property in some way

[PeejAvery]

Flush and print are not alike at all. Print() only outputs to the PHP buffers what will be sent to the client-side. The buffer information will only be sent after the server has finished or you flush the buffers.

Note tht flush() only flushes output from PHP. If you want a full webserver flush, you need to use ob_flush() along with flush().

thanks for help.

So that means that it is FLUSH(), that sends data to client..
Right?

[PeejAvery]

Correct.
