lAZLf Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 On my website I want the page to display "you have just commented" after you comment for a few seconds and then redirect the page back. I'm trying to do this with a delay using the sleep() function but it doesnt seem to be working. anyone know what's wrong? <?php session_start(); $page = $_GET['page']; if($page == "portfolio") { if (isset($_GET['id'])) { // dBase file include "dbConfig.php"; $content = $_POST['comment']; $date = date('M d, Y'); $id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']); if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user'])) { $poster = $_SESSION['valid_user']; } else { $poster = "anonymous"; } $ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") ; // Create query $q = "INSERT INTO piccomments (topicid, date, content, poster, ip) VALUES ('$id', '$date', '$content', '$poster', '$ip')"; // Run query mysql_query($q,$ms) or trigger_error (mysql_error()); echo'<h1>You Just Commented</h1>'; sleep(10); $header = 'Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; header ($header); } } else { if (isset($_GET['id'])) { // dBase file include "dbConfig.php"; $content = $_POST['comment']; $date = date('M d, Y'); $id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']); if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user'])) { $poster = $_SESSION['valid_user']; } else { $poster = "anonymous"; } $ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") ; // Create query $q = "INSERT INTO comments (topicid, date, content, poster, ip) VALUES ('$id', '$date', '$content', '$poster', '$ip')"; // Run query mysql_query($q,$ms) or trigger_error (mysql_error()); echo'<h1>You Just Commented</h1>'; sleep(10); $header = 'Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; header ($header); } } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harristweed Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 You cant have html content before a header call. It will never work. Java Script will do the job for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lAZLf Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 In that case could someone post how I would do that in Javascript? I only know the very very basics in JS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
