How can I show another page AFTER my php processing has finished?
I'm calling a php script which does some processing.
I want to briefly show some on that page which says "finished".
Then show another page.
I know I could have used this..
Header('Location: http://www.whaterver.com');
But this would allow me to show finished.
What can I do ?

But that won't wait for my page to finished will it ?
add this line
header('Location:http://www.example.com');
header('Location:http://www.example.com');
if you get this error
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
then it means you have printed something before the header,

DaveBaldwin's answer is correct and will work, but the UX characteristics of this concept are questionable.
1. If what you put on the screen before the redirect does not matter, don't put it on the screen.
2. If what you put on the screen DOES matter, leave it there, so the client can read it. Give the client a link to move to the next page. That's the right way to program the client-server relationship.
