 Unfortunately you don't give a lot of details here. It'd be nice to
 know what the processing IS exactly. And why you need a new blank
 window. What's wrong with the window that the page loads in? How is the
 page to be called? Just loading it or is there a form to submit?
 
 Still look into the output buffering and flush stuff on www.php.net for
 the "processing one by one" thing. And maybe if it's a form submittal
 look into doing <form target="_blank" ... > and if it's not you'll
 pretty much HAVE to use javascript to open that new window.
