Progressively displaying the Output of the PHP Script

My Aim: I want to have a string (say "DP") to be keep displaying on the screen after every 5 seconds for 10 times.

I am using the following code:

<?php
for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
	{
	sleep(5);
	echo 'DP<br>';
	}
?>

PHP:

But, what the above code does is - the script waits for 50 seconds, and "DP" is displayed 10 times on the screen instantly. Although, the script should first wait for 5 seconds and then display "DP"... then again wait for 5 seconds and display "DP"..... and so on.... for 10 times.

Does anyone know where the problem is? It will be really appeciated

 

Try this:

<?php
for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
	{
	echo 'DP<br>';
	flush();
	sleep(5);
	}
?>

PHP:

or, if you really want that initial 5 second delay:

<?php
for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
	{
	sleep(5);
	echo 'DP<br>';
        flush();
	}
?>

PHP:

 

Thanks! It is working now the way I wanted
