PHP - Partial Page Load

[Ik]

Not sure if this is possible with PHP.

I have a page that executes a large MySQL query, so it takes time to load and display on the browser. I'm fine with that, but all I need is to display a message on the page saying "Fetching data..." or whatever.

Note: I don't want to use AJAX to load the actual data

Any solution?

I know it's possible with ColdFusion by asking the server to send back small HTML chunks to the browser instead of sending the whole page at once.

Thank you

One thing you need to do is send at least 256 space characters before the flush.

echo(str_repeat(' ',256));
flush();
