Re: spawing new PHP process

Have your page before the email's would actually be sent, submit to a page with a frameset, in the bottom frame have a height of 1 pixel so that it's invisible. Then, in your PHP page, add something like: <script language="javascript"> parent.topframe.progress.value = eval(parent.topframe.progress.value)+1; </script> Have that print after every iteration of a mail being sent, and ofcourse you would have to create the necessary text boxes on your top frame and everything, but that would make it appear to be working to the user because the count of email's being sent would keep going up till it was done.
