@Gabe - no joy I'm afraid, it just gave a blank page and said 'done' in the status bar of the browser.
Without the extra entry in .htaccess, it currently says 'Waiting for
http://www.domainname.co.uk/php/filename.php'; and may time out, or it may eventually show the results.
Just so you can see what I'm up against, I'd better give you the code I'm using in that section:
$currentfilesize=filesize($myfile1);
$divider=0;
do {
clearstatcache();
flush();
sleep(10);
$divider++;
if ($divider % 6 == 0) {echo (">");}
} while (filesize($myfile1) == $currentfilesize);
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.location.replace( "<?php print $PHP_SELF ?>" );
</script>
</body>
</html>
As a brief explanation, the code before this section displays the contents of a file.
This section keeps checking (every 10 seconds) whether the file has changed size and keeps the browser 'alive' with a bit of output ('>') once a minute.
If the file has changed, it reloads the page using a Javascript reload which displays the new contents of the changed file. Bit of a hash-up, but it worked OK before the change.
