RE: [PHP] redirection

You can set the max-exec time to something higher (check manual for ini settings)... But if it's really something big, I suggest something like running the script throught the CGI version of PHP nohup'd. Then you could exec it and return without a wait.

I think I read about the existance of functions like ob_flush() .. but cannot get them to work or find a reference anywhere. According to what i gather from the second suggestion, won't the frame (smaller) which is supposed to show the output still expire?
