Redirect to a new webpage

Hi,
I'm doing some experimentation with php and was wondering the "best"
way to achieve this task:

I have an initial page that has a form, which, when completed, directs
to an intermediate webpage to process
the results of the form. The user is then directed back to the initial
page. Because I need a delay to enable
processing of the form data, I don't think the following will work:
<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.whispy.com/intro_page.php' ) ;
?>

I think the best way is, once the form processing is done, to do
something like
echo ( "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://
www.whispy.com/intro_page.php\">";);

This seems a bit cumbersome, but would immediately reload the initial
page once the form stuff has been
sifted. Is there another, better way, without dealing with webserver
config scripts, which I don't have access to?

Thanks!

Paul,
I don't understand by what you mean by "needing a delay. But as long as
you don't send anything to the client beforehand (and the browser
doesn't time out), there shouldn't be any problem in using a header() call.

Did you try it? If so, what happened?

Do you just want to pupup something that says "Processing"?

If so, I'd have a hidden DIV and show it using a bit of javascript on
submitting the form.
