[SOLVED] a sure fire way to redirect

[jakebur01]

What is the best way to redirect to a new page after the page has fully loaded? Would this require javascript. I realize I header redirect must be put before all other code, but I need it at the bottom of the script.

An HTML redirect or JS redirect should work.

Either Javascript, or a meta tag with a redirect after x seconds would do the job too.

 

The advantage being that you don't need javascriptThe downside being that you can only redirect after a set number of seconds; rather than on a user action and that it's x seconds after the meta loads, rather than the page completion.

So are you saying that even though the html redirect is at the bottom of the pup page that it could actually execute before the page finishes loading?

I don't think it will redirect before the PHP, cause it's interpreted and then served as HTML.  Try it out.

header('Refresh: 3; url=urlhere');

 

Will refresh the page in 3 second's to the url parameter.
