output of process to web page

[jlynch1]

I want to be able to execute a process using php on my machine and send all the output to a webpage in real time.

An example of the type of thing i am looking to do can be found at the following address.

http://www.above.net/cgi-bin/trace?140.203.56.30

I have tried using the following code but both hang until the process finishes and then prints the output.

        $fp = popen("ping -c 15 -i .25 140.203.16.5 &", "r");

        while (!feof($fp)) {
                $buffer = trim(fgets($fp, 255));
                echo $buffer . &quot;<br>\n&quot;;
        }

        pclose($fp);

and

        system.exec(&quot;ping -c 15 -i .25 140.203.16.5 &&quot;,$output);

        for($i=0; $i < count($output); $i++)
        {
                echo $output[$i] . &quot;<br>&quot;;
        }

Does anyone know how i would go about doing such a thing ?

Flushing the output stream after each print should do what you want. //Daniel
