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
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?
