Re: How to load the same page?

It is actually delaying for that period after the body is loaded, it is not actually starting the delay from clicking on the link onwards. One more thing is that it is delaying all the text which is present after the sleep() function onwards, not only that single line. So what i want to do : -->Original page as it should be, when it is loaded first: Configure the network Play the voice files -->The page after 30 seconds when somebody clicks on 'Configure the network' link: Configure the network ...network is configured Play the voice files 'Play the voice files' should not get delayed for that period as it is present after the sleep() function comes. Thanks Chakravarthy K Sannedhi Jeremy Brand wrote: you can do output, like: print "Configure the Network<br>"; flush(); /* Then sleep a while */ sleep(30); /* Then print the rest */ print "Network configuration completed<br>"; just a thought. -jeremy brand On Fri, 3 Nov 2000 sannec27@eng.uab.edu wrote: > Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2000 20:48:08 -0600 > From: sannec27@eng.uab.edu > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] How to load the same page? > > Hello all, > > I am having a link on a page to configure the network, which was created > like this. > <a href=confignetwork.php>Configure the Network</a> > > Configuration of the network takes about 30 seconds.
