在处理php时显示加载消息，然后重定向到另一个页面

Question

I am trying to write a page in php which shows a loading message while it does some processing and then auto redirects to another page

<?php
    //show a loading message - this is the bit I need help with
    // do some processing - don't need help with this bit
    header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/mynextpage.php");
    exit;
?>

I can't use echo or javascript otherwise I get a "Cannot modify header information - headers already sent" error when the page executes.

Any clues?

Using java script to redirect after the processing has finished seems to be the way to go.

I'm using

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.location="http://www.mysite.com/mynextpage.php";
</script>

at the end of the page and it's working
