I have a site that does the following:
You fill out a form with client info, click process, it moves to
another page that calls a few php functions i wrote (sending client
welcome email, adding client details to database and a few other
things). What I want the page to do is delay some of the content that
gets displayed on the php. the only way i've been able to do this is
with a javascript using setTimeout. I know this isn't a javascript
list but here is my javascript so you have a better idea what I'm
trying to do:
--- start code ---
<SCRIPT Language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function timeout() {
setTimeout("replace()",2000);
setTimeout("replace2()",3000);
setTimeout("replace3()",5000);
setTimeout("replace4()",5500);
}
function replace() {
timed_text = document.getElementById("repl").firstChild.nodeValue;
document.getElementById("repl").firstChild.nodeValue=timed_text + "
Done.";
}
function replace2() {
timed_text2 = document.getElementById("repl2").firstChild.nodeValue;
document.getElementById("repl2").firstChild.nodeValue=timed_text2 + "
Done.";
}
function replace3() {
timed_text3 = document.getElementById("repl3").firstChild.nodeValue;
document.getElementById("repl3").firstChild.nodeValue=timed_text3 + "
Done.";
}
function replace4() {
timed_text4 = document.getElementById("repl4").firstChild.nodeValue;
document.getElementById("repl4").firstChild.nodeValue="Complete.";
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLOAD="timeout()">
<DIV id="repl">Adding client to database... </DIV>
<DIV id="repl2">Configuring clients account... </DIV>
<DIV id="repl3">Sending client welcome letter... </DIV>
<DIV id="repl4"> </DIV>
--- end code ---
I know this method is horid and the code is.... ya. But I'm just
trying to see if i can do it before i work really hard on it, then
I'll fix the code, so please don't make comments regarding the crappy
code.
Anyhow, as you can see, I want the page to display "Adding client to
database..." then wait a few seconds while the php script runs the
function 'fnc_addClient', after it's done io want the page to display
"Done" so it would show:
Adding client to database.... Done
Any ideas how I can get this done with php? I've attempted the sleep
() with flush() but none of that is working.
