Hi, I am working on php5.I will really appreciate if some one could help me out.My php is connected to some remote database.when i fire the query through php it updates a column(named code_stat) at the remote database.it takes some time (say 30sec approxor more ) to connect to remote database and update the database. What i want is that while my php is updating database it should prompt my screen with something like "updating databases" during these 30secs or more. As soon as the database column in updated it should say the database updated. Can some body please help me out.. thanks jagjit
