unfortunately, it's not something that can be offline. What's actually happening is the database is being queried for information that allows the PHP script to find data files to be sent to the printer. The query really isn't the problem, it's the sending of data when there is ALOT of data being sent. Being that the actual data sent to the browser is minimal, both IE and Netscape wait until there is something worth printing before it renders the output. Basically, I need a way to force IE and Netscape to render the output so that the user doesn't get a timeout notification. --JMR colbey@dreamwerx.net <mailto:colbey@dreamwerx.net> wrote: Perhaps change it to an offline report? I've done that in the past, it get's scheduled or backgrounded and the results are either emailed to the person, or generated report stored in the database for quick load later on (user gets email that report is ready for viewing)..

I've got a huge query that runs and does all sorts of things...but the problem is that it's taking longer than the proxy server will allow to generate the HTML, thus the browser (IE) reports a timeout. I've successfully executed the entire script using Netscape, but Netscape appears to be a little more forgiving with it's buffer size than IE does. I've tried using a flush() call, but the output that is displayed to the user is fairly small in comparasion to all the stuff that's going on in the background. Is there a way to get IE to display the data it has received on the fly? If not, is there a way to force IE (and netscape) to use a smaller buffer size? I've thought about filling up the output buffer with some hidden garbage, but that would just be silly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. --JMR
