need help with executing code AFTER page served

[novazero]

I wrote a php page so that I can upload a LARGE photo and it will automatically resize the photo to thumbnail and other various sizes, placing the image outputs in specified folders. However, image manipulation takes some time and I would like it to occur on server time, no client time. Is there a way to display a page to the client completely, then execute the code for image resize, so that the client does not have to wait for all the code to complete before the page loads?

Well there is output buffering (ob_start() etc., check manual), but that won't display the page first and then carry out more code. You may want to try the JavaScript event handlers, namely onload() in your case.

Is there any way to do it without client side interaction (i.e. no javascipt or event handlers)?

... don't know the answer to that, but I expect not. PHP is server side. Once a document has displayed, only user interaction can send back to the server for a new document.

However, the real experts on this forum may be able to help you.
