alternative to meta refresh tag, having seconds to wait before redirect

[phpmady]

Hi,

 

is there any alternative to

 

echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=5;url='index.php'>";

 

waiting for 5 seconds to redirect the url

 

Thanks,

header('Refresh: 5; url=index.php');

you could use something like sleep and then call header('Location: index.php');

 

you could also do it with javascript.

header('Refresh: 5; url=index.php');

 

 

when i use this, its not redirecting

header('Refresh: 5; url=index.php');

hmm, that should work. What you could do is add a "You will be redirected, if not then click here" if its not always working.
