ob_flush

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

ob_flush — Descarrega (envia) o valor de retorno do manipulador de saída ativo

Descrição

ob_flush(): bool

Esta função chama o manipulador de saída (com a opção PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FLUSH), descarrega (envia) seu valor de retorno e descarta o conteúdo do buffer de saída ativo.

Esta função não desliga o buffer de saída ativo como as funções ob_end_flush() ou ob_get_flush() fazem.

ob_flush() falhará sem um buffer de saída ativo iniciado com a opção PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_FLUSHABLE.

Parâmetros

Esta função não possui parâmetros.

Valor Retornado

Retorna true em caso de sucesso ou false em caso de falha.

Erros/Exceções

Se a função falhar ela gera um E_NOTICE.

ob_get_flush() - Descarrega (envia) o valor de retorno do manipulador de saída ativo, retorna o conteúdo do buffer de saída ativo e desliga-o
ob_clean() - Limpa (apaga) o conteúdo do buffer de saída ativo

As of August 2012, all browsers seem to show an all-or-nothing approach to buffering. In other words, while php is operating, no content can be shown.

In particular this means that the following workarounds listed further down here are ineffective:

1) ob_flush (),  flush () in any combination with other output buffering functions;

2) changes to php.ini involving setting output_buffer and/or zlib.output_compression to 0 or Off;

3) setting Apache variables such as "no-gzip" either through apache_setenv () or through entries in .htaccess.

So, until browsers begin to show buffered content again, the tips listed here are moot.

some problems with ob_flush() and flush() could be resolved by defining content type header :
header( 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );

so working code looks like this:
<?php
header( 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );
echo 'Begin ...<br />';
for( $i = 0 ; $i < 10 ; $i++ )
{
    echo $i . '<br />';
    flush();
    ob_flush();
    sleep(1);
}
echo 'End ...<br />';
?>

The output buffer seems to work best when the server is returning a code 206 and setting the output_buffering lower temporarily to let it fill up

This tells the browser to wait for additional content
for example:
// Set the header to 206
header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content; Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");

// Flush the current outputbuffer
flush();
ob_flush();
ob_end_flush();
            
// Create a new output buffer
ob_start();

// Save the current output buffer size
$tempBuffering = ini_get("output_buffering");
            
// Set a new, much smaller buffer size
ini_set("output_buffering", 256);

// Do some buffering 
!!!   All your amazing code goes here   !!!

// Fill the buffer with something if needed
echo str_pad(" ", (int)ini_get("output_buffering"), " ");
flush();
ob_flush();

// Revert the buffer size
ini_set("output_buffering", $tempBuffering);

Although browsers now have an all or none buffering strategy, the arguments are not moot.

If you are not using ob_flush, you run this risk of exceeding socket timeouts (commonly seen in php-fpm/nginx combos).

Basically, flushing solves the infamous 504 Gateway Time-out error.

If you call ob_flush() and flush() and still dont get the buffer flushed it might be because some antivirus software (Panda in this case) holds the buffer until the page has finished loaded before sending it to the browser.

If there is no active output buffer, an error of level E_NOTICE is generated (at least in PHP 7.1).  To avoid this, test first with `ob_get_level()`.

If you're still not getting the buffer work correctly then try to clean all the others before starting your own (and even if PHP tells you that there are no buffers active):

while(@ob_end_clean());

I was having problems with output buffering which seemed to be active by default on the server, although phpinfo said something else..

In any case I needed to know that when I ran ob_start, it would start at the top level, so I could use ob_flush as it's intended without having to call multiple ob_flush in-script - this is what I did:

<?php

// make sure output buffering is off before we start it
// this will ensure same effect whether or not ob is enabled already
while (ob_get_level()) {
    ob_end_flush();
}
// start output buffering
if (ob_get_length() === false) {
    ob_start();
}

?>

Then I could call ob_flush(); followed by flush(); and get the output I wanted, which I didn't if I started the script with just ob_start();

This was on a windows apache 2 server with php 5.0.4 btw.

As stated in flush() manual entry, if php compresses the ouput with zlib this function may be ineffective.

A possible option for folders on your server that have scripts which may take a long time to run is to add the following in your relevant .htaccess file:

<FilesMatch "\.(php|html?)$">
php_flag zlib.output_compression off
php_value max_execution_time 3000
php_value max_input_time 3000
</FilesMatch>

For some reason, calling just flush or ob_flush or even both together did not get my output buffers flushed, and calling ob_end_flush by itself didn't work either but calling them all worked well. Here is my new output flushing function.



<?php

function flush_buffers(){

    ob_end_flush();

    ob_flush();

    flush();

    ob_start();

}

?>



Enjoy
