PHP Flush/ob_flush not working

Question

I\'ve tried several attempts at getting my flush and ob_flush to work. I\'ve tried setting the ini to allow buffering, I\'ve tried using several different functions I found

Answer 1

I just wanted to write a quick note of what I've observed, now in 2016, of the different approached suggested:

The above codes offered by netcoder and David work for me in the following browsers:

• Chrome
• Opera

It does not seem to work in Firefox, Safari, or IE 10-11.

I've also tested the alternative code:

 Line to show.";
        echo str_pad('',4096)."\n";    

        ob_flush();
        flush();
        sleep(2);
    }

    echo "Done.";

    ob_end_flush();
?>

Which can be found here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.flush.php#54841

Which seems to have better current support through all browsers:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Opera
• Safari
• IE 10
• IE 11

The working implementations seem to change year to year, so I wanted to offer an update of what I've found myself to work at the moment.
