I need to create a PHP loop which will update a MySQL db for each iteration of the loop. This isn't a problem. But what I'd also like to do after each record is inserted is call a JavaScript function. I thought about echoing <script ...> and calling the function that way, but that means that for each iteration of the loop (and there could be 1000's or iterations) that a new <script line would be gererated so making the file very big. I can't use Header: Location because then the PHP would no longer be processed anymore. So does anybody have any other ideas?

PHP loop - call JavaScript function

I don't understand. What JS function do you need to run so many times, why do you need to output it after every loop since it only executes when all the php processing is done and how would header location help. And if it would help, why can't you do inserts and then run header location, since inserting records seldom needs any output. And if you redirect, there's no point in output anyway.
