output buffering

[bbaassiri]

i have this script that takes a real long time to process.
During each iteration my loop of action i have the following code

ob_start();
echo "<!-- Trying -->\n\n";
print str_repeat( " " , 300 ) . "\n";
ob_end_flush();
flush();

After successfull completion i do the following

echo "<META http-equiv='Refresh' content='0; url=$ReturnURL'>";
echo PAGELOADING;
exit();

what happening is that I'm getting a document that contains no data

any ideas on why ?

What web server / OS / PHP version?

Check the value of $ReturnVAL.

[bbaassiri]

apache/1.3.14 php 4.0.6 win 32

the value for ReturnURL is correct

I have even gone to the extent to save the source as it is outputted as html and try the static html and it works correctly

i've set a timelimit to a high value and it gets rid of the document no data problem but know im having the problem with IE ignoring completely the meta refresh statement
