Why is the last line of this function required to make this work? I don't understand what's going on here. It does work though.
function close_connection() {
// if we're using sessions this stops them from hanging on other requests
session_write_close();
// get the content length from the buffer (the whole point of the buffer)
header('Content-Length: 0');
// close the connection
header('Connection: close');
// flush the buffers to the screen
flush();
// connection closing doesn't work without this. I don't know why
echo ' ';
}

Headers are sent whenever the first byte is output to the browser.
You could also try to use ob_end_flush();
