You need to ask PHP to not buffer the input for you. I'm not sure of the
exact syntax, but look for things like "php open unbuffered" etc..

PS, I think there is some PHP class or functions specifically written
for asterisk manager API, look on the wiki, either you should find an
answer you can borrow from their code, or else you might find a lot of
your work is already done.

Hope that helps somehow...
