raydona Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi, How can I jump (redirect) to another page after say 6 seconds from inside PHP code. For example, I wish to say: $sql = "some code"; if(mysql_query($sql)) { echo "Successful<br/>"; //redirect to page A after 6 seconds } else { echo "Unsuccessful"; //redirect to page B after 6 seconds } The only way I know how to redirect to another page after some time is using javascript. <script type="text/javascript"> function timedMsg() { var t = setTimeout("location.href='file.html'",6000); } </script> But how can I write javascript inside PHP code? I would be very grateful for all help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Output has been sent to the browser Alternatively he could use a META tag instead of Javascript, but yea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greghaynes Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 This code works for me. I use it for all my redirects. <?php $location = 'http://www.someaddress.com'; header("Refresh: 5; URL=\"$location\""); ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Successful upload</title> </head> <body> <div id="Upload"> <h1>Successful File Upload</h1> <p class="centeralign">Congratulations! Your file upload was successful</p> <p class="centeralign">You will be redirected in a few seconds...if not click <a href="http://www.someaddress.com">here</a></p> </div> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
