G'day again all powerfull PHPers,

I am about to make a very long piece of code, (coz my SQL sucks), that will involve a hand full of loops and a few SELECTs and INSERTs.

I come from a land of VB where if I needed to such things I would have a progress bar or other indication that all is well.

Is there something similar that I can do in PHP?

..so far pages I've done wait till everything is done before the page is dispalyed to the user.

This is trageted at people who I KNOW will think it froze and start clicking and closing impatiently.

Any suggestions?

The only way something like this could be done would be using Ajax, I think. however... how about you explain what you want to do and we can help come up with an alternative or a better approach so you dont have such long page rendering time?

I try to keep things as short as possible coz I hate reading long Q's myself.

...but here goes:

3 Tables: hardware, hardwareinactive and newhardware.

hardware contains hardware for an online shop
hardwareinactive contains the items that you don't want displayed, (purposely kept to shorten the first talbe, but provide a cross reference for newhardware so I don't update into hardware things I don't want.

newhardware is where I upload my suppliers price list.

I'm gonna write what I want in a SQL / if then / english mix

IF hardware.PartNum and newhardware.PartNum = same THEN
IF hardware.PriceEx1 not= newhardware.PriceEx1 THEN hardware.PriceEx1=newhardware.PriceEx1
IF hardware.Weight=NULL THEN hardware.Weight=newhardware.Weight
IF hardware.URL=NULL THEN hardware.URL=newhardware.URL
IF hardware.Height=NULL THEN hardware.Weight=newhardware.Weight
Delete that row / record from newhardware
ELSE IF hardwareinactive.PartNum and newhardware.PartNum = same THEN
Update Whole Lot into hardwareinactive
Delete that row / record from newhardware
ELSE
newhardware.hasimage='NEWPRODUCT'
END IF

That was as sensical as I could make it.

Sorry :D

That's known as Pseudo-Code..

The flaw in this design, is the design of your SQL statements.

I would have laid your database out in a very different way, I think..

Think of a database like this. All parts, 1 table, with different statusid's ( relational to the status table where you can expand different status id's and track what they mean ).. Think status 10 = new parts, status 200 = hidden hardware..

so for new parts, in a theoretical table you could say..

[code]select * from hardware where statusid = 10[/code]

I hope this steers you in a good direction.

I thought about the whole status idea thing but i didn't want a table that was gonna be bloated. I wanted faster results when people view the products. However although I couldn't forsee me having that many products it would matter, other people will use this. Some people I am giving this complete shop and code to, other people are going to buy it with combintion of VB written software that integrates a common IT stock / sales managment program with the online shop. The qty of products these people have i don't know.

This is what I ended up with and it actually works very well, (sure it could be faster if I re-arranged the DB, thus needing less code for this part of it, but i'd rather the end user of the shop get quicker results if it were a bloated table.
