Stream PHP echos back

Hello all,

I was wondering how to stream back php echos. In my php file i have a loop and inside the loop i have an

echo("user processed");

back in unity i would like to display the echo("user processed") as its happening. Right now in my unity script i have

Code (CSharp):

1. IEnumerator ProccessUser(){
2. WWW w = new WWW(urlHost);
3.  
4. yield return w;
5.  
6. if(w.error != null)
7.          Debug.Log(w.error);
8. else
9.           log.text = w.text.ToString();
10. }
11.  

The issue with this is its waiting for the php to be finished running before i receive the echo. Is there a way to get it every time the echo happens?

 

Is this not possible?

 

WWW is obsolete, and the scripting reference says WWW.text returns an empty string if the page download is not yet complete. You could see if UnityWebRequest has the same limitation, since its DownloadHandler.text doesn't say it does.

https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/Networking.DownloadHandler-text.html

 

Oh ok Joe so you are saying it is not possible.

 

I'm saying check to see if UnityWebRequest has the functionality you want, since I haven't tried it I can't say, but the documentation doesn't say it does not do what you want. WWW that you are using specifically says it does not do what you want, so you're wasting your time with the WWW class.

 

oh gotcha.
