Hi All I have written an application in PHP that will be used by telecoms and ISP's.

I'd like to make a page with a sort of check list as it works. I.e. CHECKING FOR FILE... SUCCESS then a few seconds later it sends OPENING HANDLE... SUCCESS, etc. But since PHP is server-side pause() wouldn't work... it only delays the script from assembling the page before it sends it to the browser. Can I send pieces at a time so I can...
