You could use output buffering to write a static page of the results. You basically turn on output buffering at the beginning of the script, process as normal, and at the end, grab everything in the buffer, write it to disk, then use header() to direct the person to that page.
Make a cron script that deletes old files periodically. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Hardiker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 6:03 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Opinions Wanted > There are quite a few ways of doing this. > > 1.
