Tom Schaefer

This class can flush the output of the current page to show the progress of task running on the server.

It can output HTML and JavaScript with additional invisible page tags that will force some browsers to update the current page to show the progress of a task running on the server.

The outputted page is formatted in such way that it works with several major browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera.

Number 3

Prize: One copy of DWebPro Standard License		 One way to show in the browser the progress of a task going on the server side, is to keep outputting JavaScript code sections that update progress bars or other forms of giving progress feedback information to the user.

However, this approach does not work equally well in all browsers.

This class provides a solution that works around different browser quirks when trying to show on the browser the progress of a task running on the server.

Situation
Ich möchte eine Fortschrittsanzeige in PHP schreiben, die ohne Ajax auskommt.

Problem:
Viele Browser reagieren unerwartet. Manche ignorieren die sofortige Ausgabe. 

Lösung:
Ich kapsele die Operation des Ausgabepuffers in der Klasse ScriptProgress. Je nach Browser erzeugt die Klasse spezifischen Quelltext.

Many browsers react unexpectedly. Some ignore the immediate issue.
