PhP - I can not get the flush or ob_flush command to work

[doctorriee]

I can not get the flush or ob_flush command to work. I want to flush the buffer and keep the thread alive. I want to do html streaming.
I am rather new at programming so it may be a stupid mistake.

I am running Microsoft XP profesional with service pack 2
I literally tried every example on both the apache friends website and php.net website and could not get anything to work. Some of the attempts are attached below .
I probably do not have something checked.

Thank you for reading my post
