I have a class that takes a while to run and am wanting to push some

Here's what I'd like:

All I can get it to do is output all of the text at the end of the script
A voice in my head says that outputting all of the text at the end of the
script is the only way to do it. Then another voice says but there
must be
a way! :)
I did try a quick test of buffering the text then explicitly flushing the
buffer but it didn't seem to work
I know this seems pointless but I'm anticipating that the users will be
confused (which would be a surprise </sarcasm>) and attempt to
abort/bugger
off somewhere else
Put this line at the top of your script...
while (@ob_end_clean());
That will remove any output buffers and your script should then output
stuff as it happens.

Or you could add
flush();
after your output, which will flush the output buffer and force it to
display.
