I have a script that does echo every 5 seconds(just an example) and I want my internet browser to keep the connection open while its waiting for the output from the script... meaning I would see the output of the command every 5s not when the script is finished...
How can this be done?

I keep running into similar trouble with gzip compression, getting exactly this symptom - no matter how much I flush my buffers, it tends to send nothing until it's complete, but I really don't want to turn the compression off (as it often gets >90%). This is usually when doing something like generating a large CSV file dynamically, so it has to be done in one pass.

Try putting in
ob_implicit_flush();
at the top of your script.
