hi I'm very new to php all together and i have constructed a website purely by copying and pasting and working with tutorials such as this. But now I am stuck and I could really please use some help.
I have a (php)page(musicupload.php) or "page1" if you will with a form to submit the file uploads, and then a second form to run the form script and file upload (upload.php)"page2" in the background.
the script works well and does exactly what I need it to do but for some reason I can not even get the "please wait " text to appear on "page 1" where the user is waiting. I have tried everything from iframes to progress bars and after several days I am here on your page finally giving in and I think I have met the limit.
So please if you have some time have a look and please tell me where I can put the echo "please wait or even a echo url to load a flash url or something just to let the user know that his file/files are being loaded. Thank you so much for your help n advance.
