New Comment:
This is a feature, not a bug. Look at the
output_buffering configuration directive in your php.ini
file. To disable output buffering, set this value to 0.
Also, remember that some browsers (clients) will buffer
input until it recieves a certain amount of data. There
is nothing PHP can do about this.

To use another example, consider a script that simply prints plain
text:
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
print "Line $i sent to client.\n";
sleep(1);
}
?>
No matter what browser we use, the result is the same.

I can verify this on PHP 4.3.4 running on Solaris with Apache 1.3 and
using Mozilla 1.6 (cause wouldn't this be really Javascript/Web browser
dependent?).
However, output is sent immediately from the command-line in both PHP
4.3.4 and PHP 5.0.0RC3-dev (built: Apr 26 2004 21:02:28)

Description:
------------
To illustrate the problem, I'll write a script that sends two
JavaScript blocks that capture the client's current date.
I have written this code with and without buffer control, and the
result is the same.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<script>
var init_date = new Date();
</script>
<?
//Waiting 5 seconds to send the next JavaScript block...
sleep(5);
?>
<script>
var end_date = new Date();
alert("Init Date: " + init_date + "\nEnd Date: " + end_date);
</script>
Expected result:
----------------
The two dates should not be the same, because the first block would be
sent immediately, and the 2nd one 5 seconds later.
Actual result:
--------------
The two dates are the same. I have not experienced this problem with
other languages such as ASP and Perl.
