Dear ALL, I am very much interested in using a HTML to fire off a data processing script to run over the internet.
I will be very grateful if you can advise me on passing parameters from an HTML form to a script and fire the script off to carry out full execution, monitor its progress and return an innerHTML with link (a name string of) the file generated back to allow user to download the result. The script run over a period of 2 to 3 minutes. Necessary are the following steps: * user submits data to the server from a web page using an HTML form; server redirects the browser to a status page that says "script is running"; * in the background, the server fires off a worker script that does the job; the server monitors the script to see when it's done (this monitoring can be tied to the status page: when the user reloads the status page, the server looks at the script to check if it's done); * user refreshes the page (or the page refreshes itself) until script is finished, and the page says "script finished; here are the results" * some kind of cleanup of data, either with a cron job or manually by the user Regards.
