        ignore_user_abort(true);
        header("Connection: close\r\n");
        header("Content-Encoding: none\r\n");  
        ob_start();          
        echo $stringToOutput;   
        $size = ob_get_length();   
        header("Content-Length: $size",TRUE);  
        ob_end_flush();
        ob_flush();

$outputContent = 'Contentent Goes Here...';

closeOutput( $outputContent );

sleep(5);
