I'm making a PHP IRC Bot, and it works great.

What I want to do though, is to have a live debugging option, which means I need to see the commands sent from an operator to the bot live. The problem is, as long as the bot's running, no output is being sent, even if I `echo`, `printf`, or `var_dump`.

So my question is, how can I force PHP to send the current output buffer without waiting for the logic to finish (because theoretically, it won't finish ever :P)

EDIT:
`flush()` or `ob_flush()` doesn't seem to work, see this simple example: <http://codepad.viper-7.com/ks7zEy>
