while php is doing its thing..

iv got a script that uploads 2 jpegs that the user defines..
which can get quite large.. avrage about 2 * 700kb images
so it can take a while.

i have a html form that posts the imagesto a php script.
i then go like this

$path = '/home/username/public_html/upload/';
$tempName1 = $_FILES['userFile1']['tmp_name'];
$realName1 = $_FILES['userFile1']['name'];

$path1 = $path.$realName1
if (move_uploaded_file($tempName1, $path1)){
// the above is repeated for image 2 but i cant be arsed to show
it

// rest of the page here

}else{
echo "could not move image";
}

this works fine but it can take ages for the page to be displayed..
is there any way i can display a page while the mages are being moved and
then update
to the actual page when that part of the script has run?

so i could have a "please wait. your images are being uploaded" and then it
would change to my content
when the script has run successfully

I've done this once before - it could be done by javascript with window.open
and than referencing back to the `parent` window ... but I don't remember
(and don't actually have the sources of) the actual solution ...
