Hi there,

I have a form which when i submit i want to run a function and show the progress as it goes.

I first tested it in a php file calling a function and the progress was perfect(using flush and sleep to delay).  
But as soon as i submit a form then the flushing of the data show all at once and not as a progress.

Does anybody know what can be done.

thanks for any help.

Regards,

Jerome
