Thanks for your answer, Gustav,

now I see I didn't explain good enough what my problem is.
My problem is not how to construct a status bar, but not it is
possible to provide any output before the headering (*Warning*: Cannot
modify header information - headers already sent by).  Neither after it.

Best regards
Sabine

P.S.: I played around with PEARs HTML_Progress. It's really worth
trying. The user doc on Laurent Lavilles page provides a lot of
explanation and examples.
(http://pear.laurent-laville.org/HTML_Progress/).

Hi Sabine
why don't you try an AJAX approach? (Kinda like GMail and stuff like that?)

You can create a DIV in your page that contains the *output* (maybe an
image with the width set to the percentage of mails sent): the content
of this DIV is updated by another script (the one that sends the email)
that gets called (via JavaScript) at specific intervals with a specific
query (in your case, the messages to send). This way your main page
never gets reloaded and you see a nice progress bar in your DIV.

I know it sounds a bit difficult, but it's a cool "technology" and after
the initial difficulties it can be really useful. As a start, have a
read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX

HTH, cheers!
Silvio

Look at the functions ob_start() and ob_flush()..

Something like:

<?php
ob_start();

HEADER("Location: test.php");

ob_flush();
?>
