Hi,

I've got a PHP script (running on MacOS X, PHP 4.1.12) which uploads
bookings from one database to another, and I'd like to have the screen show
progress as it happens (each time I process a booking, I write a line
summarising it to the browser with 'print')

From RTFMing and Googling, it seems that I should be able to do this by
turning output buffering on and using ob_flush() et al. However, this only
sort-of works, in that instead of getting output line by line, I get a
multi-line chunk on the browser from time to time.

Am I stuck with having this chunk-by-chunk visualisation, or can anyone
please suggest a way that I can make it force each line to the browser as I
write it?

Thanks in anticipation,

David C
