BUT if the PHP script is running, nobody will be able to see the progress bar anyway.
You can show flash using the following:
But understand that the bar will not be seen until PHP has finished execution. PHP is a server side only language. Everything is done on the server, and the client only sees the results.
You can show flash using the following:
Code:
echo "<object width='400' height='100'>
<param name='movie' value='flashbar.swf'>
<embed src='flashbar.swf' width='40' height='100'>
</embed></object>";

You can do something like...
when the php script starts, set a session variable to 0 (0%)
while the php script runs, change that number (0 -> 100%)
meanwhile, ANOTHER PAGE shows the progress bar
using javascript it requests a 3rd php page which returns the session variable
again using javascript, the scrollbar is updated.
Example (in my-code = non-existing language)
do-something-page.php
pageThatIsCalledByJavascript.php
statusbarPage.php
<3 me-code ;p

ProgressBar status = new ProgressBar();
status.value = 0;
setTimeout(update, 1000);
function update() {
newstatus = getPageContents("pageThatIsCalledByJavascript.php");
status.value = newstatus;
