PHP Progress Bar without flush()?

    I have a server side script that takes a long time to execute and would like to create a progress bar so the user knows that the process has not hung.

    I am aware that using flush() or ob_flush() you would be able to easily accomplish this, however, I have spent 3 nights now trying to get flush() to work on my web server and for the life of my I just cant get it to flush to the browser correctly (or at all).

    So my question is, does anybody know of another way to create a progress bar for a time intensive php script? Thanks

    Sounds like you need it to occur for the entire script:

    ob_implicit_flush(true);
    PHP:
    At top of document.
