Jerry,

Rudy, what you are suggesting works in most browsers.
But beware that it is browser dependent (including browser
version)

Alas, that (small differences) is always a problem with browsers. :-\

It's also dependent on the HTML being sent; i.e. a
<table> without the matching </table> seems to fail to
display more than non <table> data.

Thats something I've seen too.

But agreed, its something the OP should be aware of.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

I want to show a loading gif or a message that please wait and
when I get result I want to show that.

I know we cab do that when we submit a form with beforesend
function or show hide a gif but how would I do that with

file_get_contents.

I'm not sure I understand the problem: you could place/echo some HTML

before

executing the file_get_contents command, and that HTML should be

displayed

on the clients webbrowser (it will display as much as it can, even when

it

hasn't encountered the "</BODY>" and or "</HTML>" tags yet).

<?php
echo "<h3>Loading data, please wait</h3>";

$contents = file_get_contents(....);

echo "<h3>Finished loading, now processing data</h3>";

// do something with $contents here

(untested, but should work)

Hope that helps.

it is browser dependent (including browser version) and won't
necessarily work in all cases. It's also dependent on the HTML being

But it varies widely.
