sleep functions and iframes ?

Hello all.
I've a problem with Sleep function and iframes
Here are the codes

// A.PHP File
<?php
for($i=1;$i<=3;$i++){
echo "<iframe width='40%' src='b.php'></iframe>";
sleep(2);
}
?>

Code (markup):

<?php
echo "Hello World ! ";
echo date('h:i:s') . "\n";
?>

Code (markup):

When I browse a.php i get the same date from b.php codes

warning : it's just an example from a full script which iam coding

any answers ?

 

you have to use flush() to send the buffer to the browser befor you use sleep()...

without flush the server buffered the code and send it complete to the browser, so all iframe load at the same time -> same date

 

Hey Sudoku-Master
I don't know a lot about flush function
and I have tried that but it didn't work successfully ..
I have edited the a.php
this is the unsuccessfully code :

<?php
// a.php file
for($i=1;$i<=3;$i++){
echo "<iframe width='40%' src='b.php'></iframe>";
flush();
sleep(2);
}
?>

Code (markup):

but it didn't work


what now ?

 

maybe you have to use ob_flush() too... read the comments to this function too, maybe you can find there a solution... and try different browsers...

 

I Can't for now


any suggestions please ?

 

You have to understand that the code in b.php is only run when the final page of A.php is served which means that it creates all the iframes and then the browser loads the result from b.php which is why they all have the same timestamp.
