Hi all,

I've seen a really effect which i would like to use on an intranet
site. Am referring to the 'LOADING..' animation you see when switching
pages. I've seen it somewhere on a website that was using php (cant remember
the url). I've tried googling but came up with nothing - so does anyone know
what function of php allows to display a little animation while a sql query
is being run ?

Many thanks

T

Redirection with delay, take a look at the header() function documentation,
this can also be done with meta tags in pure html too.
