Default PHP output while script is running

Does any know how to show the status os a PHP script while the script is still running.

I only need to make this work using FF. It is a backend script. The script can take several minutes to parse. It is essentially a bot parsing large amount of text and adding results into a database.

Something like this:

Extraction Started.....
then
Looking for matches.....
then
Creating Array.....
then
etc.....

I have played with flush() and ob_flush(). They only show the results after the script is fully completed. I would like the results not necessarily line by line but module by module.

Any Ideas?
