Step-by-step output

[Anon]

Hello people.

How can i do step by step text output in PHP.

According to user's data. i'm generating big files. So i need to output the string
"Generating your data..."

then generate the file and then output:

"Done, you can download it here."

I've trued to put this text in the beginning of the script and at the end, but my script first generates the file (up to 10 seconds) and then outputs BOTH lines.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Zboris
