It had a nice effect when I looked at it in IE6. Notice that the page is plain text, though. If you start adding in tables and what not, then it's up to the web browser to decide when to render the page. You'll notice that the one table that's on the page renders all at once (in IE6 at least). Depends on the application whether this is useful or not... ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Time Delay using phpscript
maybe
while(true)
{
echo word;
flush();
sleep(1);
}
but I don't think that's exactly what you want, is it?

PHP just evaluates the script and sends the output to the browser. It has no control over the display at all. Best you could do is output some JavaScript along with your HTML and attempt to control it that way. Basically, since you already know how to do it with JavaScript, have PHP write the JavaScript for you... ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Time Delay using phpscript
Why would you want to do this? All it will achieve is delaying the output of the entire file to the browser... If a page would usually take .5 seconds to parse, and you have 10 seconds of delays in the script, then the browser will get the page in around 10.5 seconds... the user will just see a delay, NOT a page with new things every few seconds in the already-rendered page. Once again, PHP is a SERVER SIDE language, and EVERYTHING happens before the page is sent to the browser. If you want stuff to happen on the CLIENT SIDE, like displaying a new line every few seconds, then this needs to be achieved in the BROWSER, with JavaScript or something. If you View source on a PHP script in your browser, all you'll see is HTML code... no PHP -- it's all parsed on the server. Justin French on 24/06/02 1:14 PM, Uma Shankari T.
