Good day,
flush() will just empty the contents of the output buffer when it's called.
You should do this after you output the command, yes, or the user will have
to wait until the rest of the page is loaded. But this won't let you see
the output as it is generated by the system() function.
You may want to try popen instead. This gives you a pipe to the process, so
you _should_ be able to read in lines of the output and display them as they
appear, whilst using flush() (although I have never tried this myself so I
can not vouch for it).

Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: system(), flush() and so on...
Hello Julio,
Hm... I don't even know what to specify :)
The exact problem is using system("traceroute host.com"), but it
should've returned its results line by line, instead of executing the
whole command and then outputting its result.
That is done by flush(), which is executed by system() foo itself, but
i couldn't understand why i have needed result on some servers and on
others - vice versa.
