Hi,

 

I need to display a progress page whilst why php page processes?

 

Anyone have any examples of this?

 

Thanks

You can use javascript or php for this. With php you would just redirect the user to another page basically you would assume 5 seconds before redirecting to the new page depending on the current system load if the system load is heavy you can increase that number.

 

page #1

header('Location: page2.php');

 

page #2

function waitTime()
{
    $baseWaitTime = 5; //secs
    list($loadavg_1min, $loadavg_5min, $loadavg_15min) = sys_getloadavg();
    if ($loadavg_1min > 80) {
        ..server is really busy..
    }
}

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<?php print waitTime(); ?>; url=page3.php" />

 

page #3

..actual page..
