Output buffering - Echo values dynamically?

I want to echo string dynamically, not all of them at once when script finished running. Tried this one, but it echos all of them when script finished running. How can I echo values dynamically ?

<?php
ob_start();

echo "Line #1...<br>";
ob_flush();
flush();
sleep(2);

echo "Line #2...<br>";
ob_flush();
flush();
sleep(2);

echo "Line #4...<br>";

?>

Try sending a line-ending like \n or append at least 256 spaces to each echo to trigger the browser.

Some browsers will wait for at least 256bytes before rendering, others need a newline char. Try this combination before each flush:

echo str_repeat(" ", 256) . "\n";

Other cause could be the webserver that is caching the response.
