Redirection but need to display info

[gdboling]

I have a redirection setup using header() function after I insert data into a database to take me back to my entry form. But what I need it to do is display something like "Add successfull" for about 5 seconds then redirect. As I understand it, for some reason, the header() function just takes control and never actually shows any of the html I have before that function. What do I need to do to make it work correctly?

Thanks for any help.

Ok, in the mean time I figured out how to do it. I just needed to use the HTML META HTTP-EQUIV tag to do this.
