Thank you very much for your answer, Rory,
but I fear I don't understand the most important parts of it.
It would be very nice of you if you could give me a further hint, more
explanation.

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.
instead of simply headering the location out, you could simply output
a html page, that has a meta tag to replace it.
What do you mean with that meta tag?
maybe something like
<html/head/meta tag here>
<body>
<?php
$full_width = 200;
$amt_sent = $_GET['begin'] + 50;
$amt_to_send = 1000;
$img_width = ceil($amt_sent * $full_width / $amt_to_send);
?>
<img src="pixel.php" height="20" width="<?php echo $img_width; ?>">
<?php
flush();
send_the_mails();
?>
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?
This doesn't necessarly need to be done using a self-referencing
script. You could have an ajax type system where each script is
accessed sequentially.
And what is an ajax type system? I'm not sure if I don't understand what
you mean due to my lack of english speaking capabilities or if I don't
know the concept.
I assume the last. But additionaly I don't find the word "ajax" in my
dictionaries or at leo's. Is it an abbreviation?
Kind regards
Sabine
