Re: [PHP] way to insert timer / pause?
I'm not sure I totally understand... but... to pause... sleep(10); i.e. 10 second pause Everything stops... not just output you can buffer everything and only output it when you want look at ob_start But a warning... your server or the clients might change the expexted behaviour.

Re: [PHP] way to insert timer / pause?
I beleive you can use output buffering to stop anything from being displayed until the very last moment. Or you can code your page with tables. I know IE wont' render a table until the last /table (I beleive), so this could stop your html from showing. Or if there is going to be a long pause, you could make a intermediate page that displays this will take minute. This page would have a meta refresh that keeps refreshing itself checking the status of your job. Once the job is complete on the next refresh it will notice the job is done and voila display the results.

Sure, just read the following: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php As a reply for your second question, you can always assign the output to a variable and echo the variable in the end of the script.

Re: [PHP] way to insert timer / pause?
Andrew, my application is of customer service tries to recharge the balance on a pin, and it is over their charge limit (the customer service personnel) then I was thinking I would display a header for a few seconds telling them the recharge failed, and why. however, I think I will just out it in highlighted text instead (and flashing if I can figure that out).

Re: [PHP] way to insert timer / pause?
Thank god the blink tag in HTML was removed. Don't know how long you've been working on sites, but I started at the same time the first NSCA Mosaic browser came out. About 10 years now. They had blink/blink back then, and everyone starting using it just about everywhere! Imagine trying to read complete pages that were blinking. The first HTML chats would allow tags inserted... so someone would open a blink tag and not close it to make the whole page blink. Anyways... the way I would do it today is to make an animated gif with the text blinking and just load that.
