Re: sleep function

Hi,

I want to create a script that displays all names from a database once per second.
A part of the script look like this.

for ($i=0; $i<$total_names; $i++)
   {
     echo "name<br>";
     sleep (1);
   }

The scipt works fine but it displays all names at once. I want to display the first name, then refresh the browser and display the first name and the second, then the first name, the second and the third ....and so on.
Can someone please tell me how can i do this?

Right before your sleep(1) function add:

flush();

This should do it. Depends on how your webserver buffers things and if there's any proxy servers, etc. in the way.
