For some reason my XAMPP server is buffering the output of my PHP. I want it to spit it out as it goes. Anyone any ideas which settings I need to change to achieve this?

Check out ob_end_flush(), the manual's chapter on output control - specifically the php.ini settings.

Of course if you're just getting a blank page, check your error reporting settings - it's very possible an error halts the script, and with error reporting off you see nothing.
