PHP - Sending the current output buffer

Question

I'm making a PHP IRC Bot, and it works great.

What I want to do though, is to have a live debugging option, which means I need to see the commands sent from an operator to the bot live. The problem is, as long as the bot's running, no output is being sent, even if I echo , printf , or var_dump .

So my question is, how can I force PHP to send the current output buffer without waiting for the logic to finish (because theoretically, it won't finish ever :P)

EDIT: flush() or ob_flush() doesn't seem to work, see this simple example: http://codepad.viper-7.com/ks7zEy

Answer 1

使用flush（）;

Answer 2

您在寻找ob_flush

Answer 3

Just put this at the top of your page:

while( ob_get_level() > 0 ) {
    @ob_end_flush();
}
@ob_implicit_flush();
