    <p>I'm putting together a search engine in php that loops over some directories and echos filtered results as it goes.</p> <p>My issue is that the echoing, isn't executed until all the searching is finished, causing the page to remain blank until the script is complete.</p> <p>Is this normal? And if so, how can I get the search results to display at the time the echo is called?</p> <p>I'll also be eventually writing images in the results to the screen. Instead of echoing everything, could calling a JS document.write function instead speed things up by utilizing both client and server sides simultaneously?</p> <p><strong>edit:</strong> Here's the code that is iterating. I have a tagging system, but that part is commented out at the moment...</p> <pre><code>function checkTags($dir, $search){ global $tag; $filesInDir = array_map('strtolower', scandir($dir)); // lower case the files $filterOut = array('.','..'); $filesInDir = array_diff($filesInDir, $filterOut); // get rid of the current '.' and parent '..' values // print_r($filesInDir); foreach($filesInDir as $file) { if($file == $tag) { // found a tag echo 'found tag: '.$file.'&lt;br&gt;'; /* $tagDir = dirname($tag); $tagContents = strtolower(file_get_contents($file).'&lt;br&gt;'.$tagDir); // adding full path to include parent dirs in tag searching foreach($search as $s){ if(strpos($tagContents, $s) !== false){ // the tag has a search word //getFiles($tagDir); } } */ } elseif(is_dir($dir.'/'.$file) !== false) { //is a folder, so try in there //print_r($file); echo 'found dir: '.htmlspecialchars($file).'&lt;br&gt;'; checkTags($dir.'\\'.$file, $search); } } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks</p>

    1. COWell you haven't shown your code at all such that advice might be given on how to modify the code to echo results as the search is in progress.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
