Re: keep alive refresh

It would help to know exactly what information you are gathering and for what reason are you storing it. -Kevin Kevin, thanx for your reply. Basically the data flow is the following: . get the value from the web form . pass the value to the program . this program gathers data from a couple of remote databases . then according to the values returned by this program I update a local database. . in the end I need to display the results. The program that I have to use gets info regarding the users. I need the info to update an internal db. The program (a mix of C and shell) usually takes a very long time to end. I've tryed to modify the php.ini and set_time_limit(time) but they don't work. I wonder if I have to use the HTTP headers... Ive tried but not sure it's the right way to do it... cheers Mauro
