The Little Guy Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I am using shell_exec, and it runs a ping on a server, is there any way to flush the buffer of the shell_exec as the data is getting written to the buffer? Because I sometimes ping a site 10 times and nothing get written until the function finishes, so is there anyway to write out the output as soon as it is available? btw, this isn't only for doing a ping it is for other things as well.

trq Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Are you planning on accessing this script from a browser? HTTP doesn't work like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Use passthru instead of shell_exec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
