progress bar

This is a bit of a challenge: I am looking for a function in PHP to display a progressbar. So it will be visible to the visitor that a page is loading, in percentage, while performing any php task on the background. The difficult part is to get it to work for any IE as well as any NN. For this reason I am looking for a server-side produced progress bar, and for other reasons (usability reasons) I do not want usage of Javascript or CSS or Flash or refreshing headers (referring to the header function in PHP, due to datatraffic, looks and see below). Usage of XML is allowed and even preferred. If possible you may use the flush function of PHP. I want to use it as a function, so I need a config file (or a obvious array with all variables so I can edit certain variables - including the layout & style of the bar). Usage: I am planning to use it mainly for a whois form, while visitors wait for the results they see a progress bar. Because I already have everything else I want to load this function into the already created files. Later on I might want to use this function for slow MySQL queries. So it needs to be adaptable to multiple scripts. Lay out: I need a graphical horizontal bar with the percentage loaded so far underneath or within it (counting from 1% until 100%). But most important is that I need the bar to disappear when the 100% is reached and the results should then be loaded. That is also why the header function can not be used here to redirect (since that would delete all results which have been just obtained). This last part is really difficult without the use of CSS, but I need it without it. As last remark: The visitor should only see the progress bar load (with percentage) and should not see anything change in the address bar. Who is up to the challenge ? If you have any question, please direct them to me.
