Controlling buffer output

[vccarvalho]

Hi there, I read that somewhere once.

I have a page that's gonna perform some very time consuming operations (opens a page, parse-it and them store relevant info into a table) I'll have something around 30 pages to open, fetch info, parse, and then insert in the database.

I'd like to display to the user the progress, I read about using the flush command once. Any suggestions of how do this?

PS: Would be nice a progess indicator (1% ... 99%) but a numeric one would be just fine too (1/30 ... 30/30)

Thanks
