Echoing after database update

How do i echo after a database update? I thought the code below would do it but when the echo is made, i have to go off the page and go back onto it to see the update.

    mysql_query("UPDATE table SET example='' WHERE id=''");
    echo "Echo";

what do you mean how do i echo ? you can redirect after the update. 

$query = "SELECT * FROM bla";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
if($result){
    header("Location: http://mydomain.com/myOtherPage.php");
    die();
}
