If the URL is correct, it should work. The *first* page should have this code. The variable $query_page contains the URL to the *next* page, which contains the database query code: echo("<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" CONTENT=\"0;url=$query_page\"></HEAD><BODY>processing...please wait</BODY></HTML>"); > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: DigitalKoala [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 2:17 PM > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Subject: [PHP] flushing contents to the browser > > > > > > > > > hi folks, > > > > > > i'm trying to display something like "processing... please > > > wait" on a web > > > page whilst a rather hefty database query is being run. > > > > > > i don't want to refresh the page so i've been attempting to > > > use flush and > > > ob_start, together with some css stuff to try and do this.. > > > but no luck so > > > far - as once the buffer has been flushed, i can't retrieve > > > the content.. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
