I use the following. It's simple, and it works. It displays the message 
"Please wait while we process your request", and immediately redirects 
to the url that does the actual work. The "processing" message will 
remain on the user's browser until your other php script returns data.

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" 
content="0;url=http://yourdomain.com/process.php">
</head>

<body>
<p>Please wait while we process your request...<p />
</body>
</html>
