Subject: selfreferencing script with output
Hello to all,
I have 2 scripts ( preparing about 1000 mails for pear's mail-queue and
sending them) which shall be started by the user.
There are
- limitations of the provider for the duration of the scripts
- no cronjobs
So I had the idea to write a selfreferencing script like that:
$begin= intval($_GET["begin"]);
$allMails = 1000;
//... prepare / send a portion of for example 50 mails
if (($begin+ 50) < $allMails) {
header("Location: script.php?begin=".($begin+ 50));
} else {
echo "Done!";
}
But I want to show the user some output like a statusbar (eventually with
pear's Html_Progress) or something like that so he knows the script is
still working.
Has anybody of you an idea, a tip for me how to do it?
I don't see how I can do it within the construct above.
Is there an alternative to it?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Sabine
Hi
I don't know if this works, but I think it ought to work:
Set a picture (a line) with width 1, next iteration set the line to width 2,
next to width 3...
OR set a picture with width % off <count of mails>
Change picture with dhtml (or if you prefer Javascript and css ;-))
