Here?! Sunny today! ;-)
I highly suggest you use client side scripting in this case.
onLoad 
Event handler. A load event occurs when Navigator finishes loading a window or all 
frames within a <FRAMESET> tag. The onLoad event handler executes JavaScript code when 
a load event occurs. 

Here's a sample code for your result page:

<body onload=document.loadingimage.src='blank.gif'>
...... Some Coding Here .......
<p align=center><img src=loading.gif name=loadingimage></p>
...... The rest of coding......
</body>

That's the snippiest piece of code. [I didn't test it, however, I'm sure that it work 
out]
Create a loading.gif animation gif which shows a [Loading...] animation.
It will be replaced by a blank gif file named blank.gif which shows a blank screen.
Take care,

  Subject: [PHP] status page between submit and results



  Blizzard here, hows the weather there? :)

  The website I am working on has several forms, a search, and a login that can take 
close to a minute depending 
  on much traffic it is recieving. I've noticed on other sites ("paypal" for instance) 
that when you submit it throws up 
  a "loading..." page that goes onto the results page when it is returned.

  any ideas on how to do this? 

  tks
