Displaying a status page while processing continues in bg

Post by future_man »

Hello,

I have a long script that runs when a user submits a form that takes a while to process. The problem is that the user gets impatient and then resubmits the form multiple times.

Can anyone recommend a good way to handle this? ie. displaying a temporary status message, etc.?

Also, are there any scripts out there that do this well?

Thanks,
John

I think this is more client side stuff.

There is a PEAR package that does what you want.
