RE: [PHP-WIN] flushing output to the browser whilst the script d oes something useful

If this doesn't work for you, try printing out all your HTML, spawn the "long" proc. into the background and then exit. Then, on the HTML you outputted, use a META REFRESH or Javascript refresh (or just putting a link at the bottom for the user to click on), so that the user can then see the output of the long process. What is the long proc. doing anyway? --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation ScottH@eac.com Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Olivier Hubert [mailto:raggart@colvir.net] > Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 3:40 PM > To: Mr. Adam ALLEN.; php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] flushing output to the browser whilst > the script > does something useful > > > You might want to look at the flush() function which seem to > do exactly > what you need. > > http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flush.php > > However please note that your web server might still buffer > the output.
