RE: [PHP] flushing contents to the browser

If you redirect into the query page using a META refresh, you can display the message: echo("<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" CONTENT=\"0;url=your_url_here.php\"></HEAD><BODY>processing... please wait</BODY></HTML>"); The message will display until the query page finishes.
