PHP echo-ing content as page loads

Question

So I\'m doing some experimenting with PHP/Apache. Let\'s say I have this code.

DIV 1

DIV 2

        

Answer 1

No it may be a setting in php.

In you local server, output_buffering is enabled in your php.ini file.

You can disable it by setting :

output_buffering = off

To Ensure that the content is sent to the browser each time a echo-like statement is used, add :

implicit_flush = on

You also can set the buffer size by giving output_buffering a value.

output_buffering = 4096

here the buffer size would be 4KB.

Output buffering tells php to keep in memory all data to be sent to the browser until it encouters a flush() instruction in your code, the buffer happens to be full, or it is the end of the script.

Here is the full reference for output buffer from php.net : php output buffer
