    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.

    Rudy, what you are suggesting works in most browsers. But beware that
    it is browser dependent (including browser version) and won't
    necessarily work in all cases. 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.

    But it varies widely.
