I just wrote a script that goes through a database and does a lot of stuff to the data, it takes about 30 seconds to a minute to run through everything, so I thought it would be nice to show a progress indicator of some sort. What I have at this point, is that after every record is processed, I put in an:
echo "."; command. I just noticed though, that nothing will get sent to the browser until the script is finished, so it's worthless to output the periods. Is there a way to get the browser to display partial data before it's done downloading the page (or before the script execution is done in this case..)? I'm not doing any output buffering, or sending headers or anything at this point, just SQL commands and echo output. Oh, I'm running php 4.2.2 Thanks! -- Raincross Technologies Development and Consulting Services http://www.raincross-tech.com
