In the PHP curl_multi_exec manual, a strange 3 loops are given as an example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12

<?php
do {
    $mrc = curl_multi_exec($mh, $active);
} while ($mrc == CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM);

while ($active && $mrc …

If anything else doesn’t work, try this sample code:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15

<?php
@apache_setenv('no-gzip', 1);
@ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 0);
@ini_set('implicit_flush', 1);
for ($i = 0; $i &lt; ob_get_level(); $i++) { ob_end_flush(); }
ob_implicit_flush(1);

// All you need is 256 spaces first
echo str_repeat(" ", 256); ob_flush();
for($i=0;$i&lt;10;$i++)
{
   echo $i,' ';
   ob_flush();
   sleep(1);
}
