Streaming Buffer output shows after PHP script finishes execution

Question

I have been experimenting with:

ob_implicit_flush(true);
ob_start();
$timelimit=10;
while ($timelimit>=0){
    $timelimit=$timelimit-1;
    echo "1";
    sleep(1);
    flush();
    ob_flush();
}

ob_end_flush();

php.ini:

output_buffering = Off

I expect to see "1" added every second until the script completes execution. Instead I see everything only after the script has ended.

What am I doing wrong here?

What's the point of the experiment? What exactly are you planing to accomplish? — Peon

Learning. But later on I hope to apply it to other things I am working on. I would be happy if it just show another "1" every second. — MoonEater916

I just saw it in other examples and copied and when that didn't work i added Flush() to try again. — MoonEater916

It was working the whole time. I was calling the php via ajax not realizing that the ajax was the cuplrit

if ((this.readyState == 4 || this.readyState == 3) && this.status == 200) {
