Hum, would you have a small example I could try?
'cause I am not sure I follow, if the php times-out after 30 seconds, (the
default), then there is nothing it can do really.
I need to divide the work in chunks of less that 30 seconds and somehow get
the JavaScript to call each 'chunck' one at a time.
So I would need JavaScript to open a php script, wait for the output and
handle the output.
Is it not possible to call another file on the server JavaScript and echo
the output?
I hope my explanation is clear.
