creating a processing page

Hi all, How do you make a 'processing page' like the one's on some php forum search pages? Would it be something like as follows: <html><head>Processing<title></title> <script language="javascript"> <!--// function gotopage( page ) { window.location( page ); } //--> </script> </head><body> Processing, please wait... <?php $deatails = do_whatever_takes_time(); $page_that_can_retreive_stored_details = somehow_store( $details ); echo '<script language="javascript"><!--// gotopage( $page_that_can_retreive_stored_details ); //--></script></body></html>'; ?> Or is there some other much simpler way to acheive this???
