I need to output for example "Processing" on a page then execute a php script. With other words I need to output something and than run the php script. Is this possible only with PHP? What about Java?

Sounds like you need javascript here.

You mean something like when you login in forums, you get "You will automatically get redirected..." somethine like that then send you to a page?

Or probably you dont want to open a page, just one page to output processing and execute a php script? try google AJAX, im sure you know what it is already...


You can also execute it from a frame.

<?php

echo 'Hi this is where all tags and viewable content are shown';

// process the script here

echo 'I am written to webpage';

// process more of the script

echo 'You can do this however long you want';

print('I am another command that writes words to webpages');


?>

I know what AJAX is all about. The problem is I am unfamiliar with it. Anyway i am starting now to read about it, I already found something similar to what I was looking for ( writen in AJAX of course).

Thanks

Read the sticky's by praveen in the javascript coding forum, there are well over 100 links to different types of AJAX tutorials listed there.
