Why not just keep your script running and have it send more data to the browser whenever it becomes available. The browser will add the new data to the page on display. With some clever use of DHTML you could probably make the existing content be updated with the new material. When a browser wants to trigger an update it will close the existing connection and open a new one. Your running script will be killed by apache and your new one would build a base page and start streaming the data in it's place. I see nothing here more complicated than a long-running script and perhaps sessions to manage the browser-initiated connections. ...Richard. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
