Question:
I have a web interface where a user can upload an XML file, which then gets imported into a SQL database.
Import works fine, interface works fine, logfile works fine.
The problem: The user doesn’t get any progress report until the entire file has been processed…
Is there any way the server can output logfile messages to the user page while processing?
I mean AJAX doesn’t work for server side calls to the client, only vice-versa, or is there a workaround ?
Have you looked at thee articles? might be of some help
