Thanks for the Javascript... but my real case is in PHP not Javascript... :D I've tried with javascript, it worked, but not with PHP... I've tried what Michael Hazelden said. print("Please wait for 10 seconds while we're processing your request..."); flush(); sleep(10); But it didn't work... it gave me the same result like before.... Or maybe there's something wrong with my browser ??? I'm using Internet Explorer.... :D But I think it's not the cause...... --www.kapsul.org-- DuFronte -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Jameson (USA) [mailto:RJameson@usa.ibs.org] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 9:40 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: Delay Confirmation.... <<<<<Anyone know how to disable CTRL-ENTER in outlook? >>>>> Anyway... the what I was saying: function wait10SecondsAndThenGoToADifferentPage(){ setTimeout("window.location.href = 'pageYouWantThemOnWhenDone.php';",10000); } <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Jameson (USA) Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 7:38 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: Delay Confirmation.... javascript seems to be a more likely candidate for this.

Hi, I'm still new in PHP..., I have some problem in using sleep() function. Actually, I want to make a script that confirm the user to wait for 10 seconds before proceed to the next step. First the message "Please wait for 10 seconds while we're processing your request..." will be shown to user, then at the same time I want to delay the processing for 10 seconds with sleep() function. This is my script : <?php $i=0; set_time_limit(10); print("Please wait for 10 seconds while we're processing your request..."); sleep(10); $query="insert into......"; ....etc. ?> But the result juz not like I wanted. The sleep runs before the message shown up..., not before the query... I think, sleep() is delayed a whole script....both, the message and the query result are printed out after 10 seconds... It makes me so confused.... How could I fix it ???
