It seems that PHP has his own output buffer by default. If you want to flush output immediately, you should use flush(); http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.flush.php Attention: you should use ob_end_flush() before flush() at first.
ob_implicit_flush() will be also all right. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-implicit-flush.php Read carefully,especially the comments.

I have the following script: # date/time stamp $dt_stamp = date("Ymd.H.i.s"); # the directories $basedir = str_replace("/","\\",dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])); $shotdir = $basedir."\\sat.shots\\"; echo "downloading satellite snapshots..."; # load the images $satloc = file_get_contents($basedir."\satloc.txt"); $images = explode("\n",$satloc); for ( $i=0; $i <= count($images); $i++ ) { $i_name = trim(basename($images[$i])); $i_type = trim(strtolower(substr($i_name, -3))); switch ($i_type) { case "jpg" : $img = loadjpeg(trim($images[$i])); imagejpeg($img,$shotdir.$dt_stamp."-".$i_name); break; case "gif" : $img = loadgif(trim($images[$i])); imagegif($img,$shotdir.$dt_stamp."-".$i_name); break; } } echo " done."; The script above works perfectly, well almost... The problem is that when I run it, I don't see the message "downloading satellite snapshots..." that I expect to show on the browser before the images are acquired. Instead I get "downloading satellite snapshots... done." after the script finish execution. Is this echo delay normal?
