As given in title, how do you make it ?
lets say we have a multi step progress in server side of onclick, so user will know about the results of each step 'virtually realtime'.
here is what I wish to make:
finding records...(here waits till progress finished) done.
changing values.. (here waits till progress finished) done
process was successful.
or another example:
finding records..done
changing values..failed!
progress failed!
I can only 'echo' then 'exit' from whole progress.
Shortly: How to make it so when user submitted form will see a page about every progress, and server will echo results of each step?
thank you in advance,
oh, This was one of easy-to-show, hard-to-explain subject for me :)

And before forget, I know It can be made with help of ajax , but I remember those dark times of Internet, and this behavior was exist (I remember this way from account creation pages of several free hosting companies like hypermart etc.), In other words I need a primitive but working solution without spending hundreds of tryouts to integrate ajax stuff into CCS.

One little trick you could use is to place a borderless text area on
your page, then periodically update the value of the text area via
javascript from your PHP code. Something like:
<?php
echo "javascript: document.forms["YourForm"].YourTextArea.value =
document.forms["YourForm"].YourTextArea.value+'\nfinding records ...';";
?>
The other way is to use an AJAX method. :) What you're likely seeing
from the host control panel is perl/cgi scripting.

datadoit, thank you for this trick, I'll give a try.
But also when I was googling I found existence of "flush()" function (being newbie is tough :))
which was given here:

But I don't know how to go further with this code.
maybe could It be a good approach of my question?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Yes there's flush() and obflush(). It's what CodeCharge does at the end
of their magic. However, you may experience some goofyness by flushing
midstream.

If you use an Update Panel, it does that for you automatically.

I would be grateful if you show me a little example about how to make this.
