[snip] ...a pretty good discussion... [/snip] I have used output buffering to flush stuff (like lengthy data) to the client before the end of the script so that those pesky users could see something was happening (because they couldn't be bothered to watch the browser's progress meter) and at one time thought that you might be able to do something like a progress meter with that. Since the http process is stateless it would be hard to provide a truly accurate progress meter. There are too many factors at play. Using PHP in an Ajax environment might move it a little closer and is an interesting thought and depends upon the reliability of the asynchronous request. There is the old stand-by...send an animated gif to the browser with no real timing involved. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
