Navigate to new page AND start a downloa

[Anon]

I've got a page (generated by PHP, but I think that is irrelevant) on which a user may enter values in a form and press a Submit button. This takes the user to another PHP file. What I would like to happen is the following:

1. Page displays to user saying "Your download is starting. Click OK when complete" and have an OK button that will take the user to yet another page.

2. Have a download of a text file start automatically, with a suggested filename (based on the user's entries in the original form).

I've spent most of the afternoon thrashing about, looking at this site, reading some books we've got, doing google.com searches. Kept finding the email related stuff with Content-Type: multipart/mixed but didn't get too far with that.

I WAS able to get to the point where I could download the text file, but NOT move to another page. Really would like to move to another page though.

Pointers to relevant and helpful material IMMENSELY appreciated.

For the record, we're using Apache web server, PHP 4.x, and IE 5.5 SP2 or IE 6.0 (if the solution doesn't work on other browsers, I don't care right now)

I'm not quite sure what you're asking...

Since you've got the download working, moving to the next page (when the user clicks on the button on the page) should be a cinch with either HTML, javascript, or PHP (in most likely prefered order).

Problem with my solution is that I have to send header() calls to do the download, so I don't think I can send the Location: call too. I can try, and I'll report on results.
