I have a page that is supposed to create a very long report working with pages downloaded from the internet and lots of regexes. At this moment, I''m running each step by elimination (for every page I check, I update a field and change the status to 1), refresh the page and start over with the next 10 pages...and soon I repeat this procedure until there''s no page left with the status to 0. The problem is that this procedure is very old and ugly with those refreshes. I would be interested in some ajax solution that would perform similar. I love script.aculo.us very much and would love to use it. Someone told me about JSON in order to evaluate the response but I''m such a noob at javascript. Any ideas?! Here''s a demo with the actual page (just a demo, not my code): /* $get_10_unfinished_pages = //this pulls out maximum 10 pages that have the status 0 get_Page () = //the actual url */ if ( $get_10_unfinished_pages ) { foreach ( $get_10_unfinished_pages as $page ) { perform_various_regexes ( $page ); update_page ( $page );//this changes the status to 1 checked header ( "Location : " . get_Page () ); } } else { //do something here as well } /* $get_10_unfinished_pages = //this pulls out maximum 10 pages that have the status 0 get_Page () = //the actual url */ if ( $get_10_unfinished_pages ) { foreach ( $get_10_unfinished_pages as $page ) { perform_various_regexes ( $page ); update_page ( $page );// this changes the status to 1 = checked header ( "Location : " . get_Page () ); } } else { //do something here as well } Basically, I would love to see some ajax script that would do this: call a page until the response is FALSE and only after that it should move to another task.
