output message before page redirection

[yobo]

hey all,

 

I use to have a msg output to the screen to inform the user that there file had been uploaded but i needed to add a bit of code to stop the same data been added to the database trice when the page was refreshed so I added a header redirection to the same page now the msg will not be outputted this is what I have.

echo "<br>File $fileName uploaded<br>";
header("Location: http://localhost/php/upload.php");

 

the above snippet is my code

echo "<br>File $fileName uploaded<br>";
?>
