Flushing buffer

Which variable to switch for allow output buffering

[anjanesh]

Hi

In spite of using flush() in my PHP code, the entire output is show after the document has loaded 100%.

What setting do I need to change in my conf file to alter the output buffering methods?

Linux
Apache

Thanks

Are you running mod_gzip or mod_deflate? Are you certain it is the http server and not your browser or otherwise, especially on Windows servers or even in your MS IE browser. See the PHP flush() [php.net] manual page for more details.

Server using mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a - Im pretty sure its the server because on my WinXP Apache/PHP, flush works alright - also, the same script flushed properly on another server.

Does mod_gzip or mod_deflate have anything to do with flushing?

Did you read the link?

Server modules for Apache like mod_gzip may do buffering of their own that will cause flush() to not result in data being sent immediately to the client.

Is there any way to bypass this? Say unload the dl ir ini_set?

Don't use the module ;) Just kidding.

You will have to go through the configuration options and make that determination. mod_gzip is an open source project [sourceforge.net] and the "Home Page" link leads you to some documentation. I would probably start with "Caching" as well as configuration "file sizes" in the documentation.
