Showing some result while waiting for socket connection

[ZenMan]

$host = "www.yahoo.com";
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);

//some http-connection stuff

while (!feof($fp))
echo "getting site";
$buf .= fgets($fp,128);
fclose($fp);

echo $buf; 

Problem with this is that it prints "getting site" a million times
untill the socket is finished How can I make it print it only 1 time
on the page? Also, how can I "clear" the page afterwards so just
the result is shown?
