 * I’ve heard that flush() can conflict with cache plugins.
    I’m using Global Translator
   who translates my posts and create a html copy of each one of them. I was wondering
   if there could be ay issues between them. Thanks

 * No there is no conflict (to the best of my knowledge).
    I use W3 Total cache 
   plugin with the php flush() function for my [blog](http://bacsoftwareconsulting.com/blog/).
   It actually helps in immediately rendering the ready parts of the page rather
   than waiting for the whole page to load (this gives the impression of a faster
   download). The flush code should go immediately after the </head>: _<?php flush();?

 * Why don’t you try it and see if you get any issues.
 * Hope this helps,
    Boutros.

 * **This is from W3 Total cache FAQ:**
    _I see garbage characters instead of the
   normal web site, what’s going on here?_ If a theme or its files use the call 
   php_flush() or function flush() that will interfere with the plugin normal operation;
   making the plugin send cached files before essential operations have finished.
   The flush() call is no longer necessary and should be removed.
 * *So eventhough things were working fine on my blog, it might not work for others.
   I am not sure about other caching plugins.
