John,
I never even thought of just including the page I was wanting to
redirect/switch to. I was always ending my processing portion with a
header("Location : ....") thingy in all of my scripts. As no output comes
out during the processing stage it should all work.
It seems so straight forward now, thank you.

told us why you need to redirect to this new page might help. Simply doing
the processing then including the new page should work fine, as long as the
processing part doesn't do any output. A simple example:
