connection_status in PHP

if you running a loop (while, foeach etc..)  you have to send something to the browser to check the status.

Example:

while(1){
    if (connection_status()!=0){
    die;
    }
}
doesnt work, if the user break/close the browser.

But a:

while(1){
    Echo "\n"; //<-- send this to the client
    if (connection_status()!=0){
    die;
    }
}
will work :)

i hope it will help some of you to safe some time :)
