[Page Redirect Question]

When I open my index page, I would like to redirect to another page after a set amount of time. Before the time expires I would like to display an animated loading icon centered in the screen. How do I go about doing this in jquery?

Ok, I have almost everything working but it doesnt echo "Success" if it was successfully submitted.

<?php

function html_escape($raw_input)
{
	return htmlspecialchars($raw_input, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
}

echo"<form id=\"sms\" name=\"sms\" method=\"post\" action=\"\">
<table width=\"300\">
  <tr>
    <td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\">Cell number:</td>
    <td align=\"left\"><input name=\"number\" type=\"text\" id=\"number\" 

size=\"10\"> No dashes</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\">Carrier:</td>
    <td align=\"left\">
      <select name=\"carrier\" id=\"carrier\">
        <option value=\"verizon\">Verizon</option>

        <option value=\"sprint\">Sprint</option>
        <option value=\"att\">AT&T</option>
        <option value=\"virgin\">Virgin Mobile</option>
      </select>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\" ><input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" 

value=\"Submit\"></td>
    </tr>
</table>
</form>";

if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$number = $_POST['number'];
$carrier = $_POST['carrier'];
$message = "test";

if( empty($_POST['number']))
   echo "You must enter a number to send to";

else if ($carrier == "verizon") {
$formatted_number = $number."@vtext.com";
mail("$formatted_number", "", "$message", "From: john@gmail.com");

I fixed the security risk with changing these lines

$phpSelf = filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'PHP_SELF', FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);

echo"<form id=\"sms\" name=\"sms\" method=\"post\" action=\"".$phpSelf."\">

Currently, when a number is not entered and submit is pressed, it displays "Success" it should display "You must enter a number to send to". I only want the message displayed after the submit button is pressed.

Hi, I'm a beginner to PHP scripting. I'm trying to get the error message to work correctly when the number field is left blank in this code. If you see anything else I may be doing wrong or a better way I would appreciate any input. basically what this script will do is that a person can enter their cell number and select their carrier then press submit. It will then send them a message to their moble. Thanks for your help.
