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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Olivier Hubert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 3:40 PM > To: Mr. Adam ALLEN.; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 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.
