Re: selfreferencing script with output

Thanks for your answer, Gustav, now I see I didn't explain good enough what my problem is. My problem is not how to construct a status bar, but not it is possible to provide any output before the headering (*Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by). Neither after it. Best regards Sabine P.S.: I played around with PEARs HTML_Progress. It's really worth trying. The user doc on Laurent Lavilles page provides a lot of explanation and examples.

Hello to all, I have 2 scripts ( preparing about 1000 mails for pear's mail-queue and sending them) which shall be started by the user. There are - limitations of the provider for the duration of the scripts - no cronjobs So I had the idea to write a selfreferencing script like that: $begin= intval($_GET["begin"]); $allMails = 1000; //... prepare / send a portion of for example 50 mails if (($begin+ 50) < $allMails) {

    header("Location: script.php?begin=".($begin+ 50));

} else { echo "Done!"; } But I want to show the user some output like a statusbar (eventually with pear's Html_Progress) or something like that so he knows the script is still working. Has anybody of you an idea, a tip for me how to do it? I don't see how I can do it within the construct above. Is there an alternative to it? Thanks in advance for your answers Sabine

Hi I don't know if this works, but I think it ought to work: Set a picture (a line) with width 1, next iteration set the line to width 2, next to width 3... OR set a picture with width % off <count of mails> Change picture with dhtml (or if you prefer Javascript and css ;-)) /G http://www.varupiraten.se/
