User don't download it at the downloading time to server, server gets it thru PHP script and stores on itself! ONly i want is understand how to show progress bar to user. I have an idea: in my downloading script in cycle add $_REQUEST['completed'] with downloaded bytes, then at the client side via JavaScript(JQuery) it will dynamically get data from backend variable. Would it work? -- С уважением, STEEL mailto:vlad62@xxxxxxxxxxx -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
