Here's one:

<?php
// Output a 'waiting message'
echo 'Please wait while this task completes';

// Now while waiting for a certain task to complete, keep outputting
..'s
while (true) {
// Echo an extra dot, and flush the buffers to ensure it gets
displayed.
echo ' .';
flush();

// Now sleep for 1 second and check again:
sleep(1);
}
?>
