I am working with Soundcloud API to get the group members' information. Now there are thousands of members in a group. I need to get this done in a "Batch Process" and have to show a progress bar. How can I do this? Any technical solution, please?
Edit: The class should keep in mind about the "server load". I mean to say, server shouldn't be very busy to process this and the CPU load shouldn't get high.
For the progress bar part, the question I mentioned in my comment doesn't seem to provide a proper answer. With some further googling and experimenting I came to this solution, which seems to work in both Chrome and IE11.
<?php
set_time_limit(0); // Don't timeout.
header( 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );
?><!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<progress id="progress" max="10" value="1">
</progress>
<div id="test">
Hello world
</div>
<?php
// Apparently this is needed to disable buffering.
ob_implicit_flush(true);
ob_end_flush();
$colors = array('red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow', 'red', 'green', 'black', 'white', 'blue', 'green', 'pink');
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; ++$i)
{
// Outputting a large chunk of data is also mentioned as a work-around, but for me it didn't work.
// echo str_repeat(' ', 10000);
// Instead of sleeping, this is where your actual processing would go.
sleep(1);
// Echo a small Javascript to update the status.
?>
<script>
document.getElementById('progress').value = <?=$i?>;
document.getElementById('test').style.backgroundColor = '<?=$colors[$i]?>';
document.getElementById('test').innerText = '<?=$i*10?>% done';
</script>
<?php
// The script is flushed right away, and the browser should execute it right away.
flush();
}
