I have a frontend app where i call a PHP script (lets call it script.php) that takes some time to complete. I want to show (on the client side) the percentage completed.
On the file script.php i can at any time calculate the percentage of jobs completed. I searched a bit and a possible solution should be:
My problem is how do i get and "share" this percentage value between the script and the other php file to display on the client side.
What options do i have using JQuery/AJAX (i was trying to avoid the use of cached solutions).
Thanks
All you need on the client side is a javascript function which periodically calls your progress.php script or whatever it's called and get's the latest percent completed. Then you can update the DOM with that value.
Take a look at this thread
