Running a PHP script that is doing a huge mysql query plus some crunching on the results. Because of this the script takes a long time to execute and may appear to be not working to the user.
Is there a way to provide feedback to the user that the script is running?
Perhaps way to print to the browser with each loop – indicating what record it’s on… kind of a “live output buffer” or something?
