Not entirely sure what your trying to do, but...
Unless you need to collect information off the user's machine (cookies,
form input, etc), then user never needs to render that page in order to
perform a redirect. You can have a straight php file which has no HTML,
and prints nothing to the screen. Since you aren't sending anything,
you can do a redirect header, and there will be information send to the
browser (ie, no need to render a page).
<?
//middlepage.php
// do stuff
// redirect
header("Location: http://www.php.net/";);
exit;
?>

You need to be a bit clearer here... If you do need to collect
information (like a cookie), then you have to render the page I believe.
