Run process in the background but stop explorer loading bar

[everisk]

Hi,

 

I have quite a long script that need some time processing, but I need to output some message to Flash file before the script ends. Currently, I can output the message but Flash will not get the message unless the script ends (which is too long for user to wait). I googled the answer and tried to add it into my script. But ,with my script, when the page stops loading (or the loading bar stops) it doesn't continue the rest of the script. Please help

 

A portion of my code

<?php
include "conn.php";
ignore_user_abort(true);

//Receives values from Flash Form

$from_email = strtolower(trim($_REQUEST['from_email']));
$from_name = strtolower(trim($_REQUEST['from_name']));
$to_email = strtolower(trim($_REQUEST['to_email']));
$user_message = trim($_REQUEST['user_message']);  //user type message
$from_name = iconv("UTF-8", "TIS-620", $from_name);
$user_message = iconv("UTF-8", "TIS-620", $user_message);

//some process

//--------insert all value into raw_input table--------//
$raw_to_email = strip_tags(fullclean($to_email));
$sql = "insert into raw_input (from_email, from_name, to_email, user_message, fdate, message) values ('$from_email', '$from_name', '$raw_to_email', '$user_message', '$tdate', $message)";
mysql_query($sql);

$response = "writ=Ok&writing=Ok";
header("Connection: close");
header("Content-Length: " . mb_strlen($response));
echo $response; //to output to flash before the script ends
flush();
ob_flush();
flush();
ob_flush();
flush();
ob_flush();

test_fuc();

function test_fuc() {
print "test get called<br />";
sleep(10);
print "script continued";
}
?>
