Use flush() and some other tricks.
1) do not use <table> design or if you must, use a short tables. Many
browsers do not dispaly anything until get the </table> tag.
2) Many browsers wait for unspecified number of bytes before dispaly part of
page content. To avoid this you can send say 1024 spaces - char(32) - after
each data you need to display immediately. Browser reduce these 1024 spaces
to 1 only but must show content.
