Re: TimeOut

Unfortunately, that's not how http works. You could possibly do it using a Java applet or some kind of server push program, but I'd recommend setting a meta refresh for something like 20 seconds or whatever you think is appropriate. The page will be refreshed, but the user won't have to do it himself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Iten" <robiten@bellsouth.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, August 04, 2000 10:19 AM Subject: [PHP] TimeOut > Howdy. > Is there any sort of issue associated with setting a script so it doesn't > time out?
