flush() not working on TonidoPlug2 php plugin

[vincentchan]

Hi,

I am now developing an app based on Tonido php development platform. I am using TonidoPlug2 for testing. The app is going to provide a long connection to the client. I used the flush() function to flush out the output to the client. But it is not working. Below is the code.

Code: Select all

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
set_time_limit(0);

$infoString = "Hello World" . "\n";
while( isset($infoString) )
{
        echo $infoString;
        ob_flush();
        flush();
        sleep(5);
}
?>

Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is?

Thanks!!

This is not a tonido php specific issue, but data sent to the browser might not be shown unless the size crosses 256 characters in many cases, you might want to check with larger http response payloads.

Having said that, the PHP platform is not being actively maintained or developed anymore, so it is likely that it (outside the core systems) gets deprecated shortly.

Thanks for your reply.

And if the php platform is not going to be continued, what kind of platform will be available for us to use?

The 3rd party plugins never became popular, so we are not sure if this integration is going to be maintained going forward.

Yes, we know, most people never get into the applications page and install new apps, they are fine with existing core features.
