this is hard to explain but how can you make it so as php executed the script it shows whats happening as it goes. An example of this is the google sitemap generator. it shows the url every time it finds a new one. Do you need to use ajax.

If you mean that when the script does something you want a result visible on the page?

To do this you would put an echo tag after each part of the script you want to display with the message you want to display in it, as long as you are not using header redirect it will echo each message as it processes your scripts.

 

eg

 

if ($blah=mysql_query("UPDATE table SET blah='blah' WHERE id='someID'")) {

    echo "blah has been updated<br/>";

}

if (copy some image to the server) {

    echo "some image has been copied to the server<br/>";

}

etc etc
