No, you can't start a query while one PHP script is executing and then retrieve results from it when another PHP script runs. > i've > had a fancy idea of display of the progress of the results with a progress > bar > in the interim page aswell , heh i wonder how i could do that :) You can show an animated gif and make it look like a progress bar, but that's it. You already posted an example of what you've got that matches what I suggested. That's your solution. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
