Re: [PHP-DB] Flushing PHP output
I want to have a web page access a number of DB's, this will start with one but on a monthly basis increment by one. So within 12 months their will be 12 DB's. The web page will access each one in turn starting with the newest DB and search through this for certain text. After a query has ended it moves on to the next and so on. Ok well just call flush(); to send the current buffer to the browser. Of course it depends on how quickly each query runs if this has any measurable effect. I use flush quite successfully on a multiple whois lookup page. On each flush it sends a new javascript command to update the header telling the user what domain it is checking at the moment.

Re: [PHP-DB] Flushing PHP output
in my experience (IE5?) if there is data being added to the page, then the browser will display what it can, and keep adding to it until the stream breaks or it finishes. Only if the buffer has been flushed! one thing to note is that you wouldn't be able to do any tables because they don't display until the code all the way to the end of the table is available. tables are fine for buffered output. You just need to send a complete table in each flushed output. In the original posters application he could use a seperate table for each db call, then flush and they will display fine.

RE: [PHP-DB] Flushing PHP output
if you just echo() the results/messages as you come across them, the page should incrementally load. in my experience (IE5?) if there is data being added to the page, then the browser will display what it can, and keep adding to it until the stream breaks or it finishes. one thing to note is that you wouldn't be able to do any tables because they don't display until the code all the way to the end of the table is available.
