PHP redirecting

[Mil1243]

Is there any code in PHP that shows a page for a specific time i.e 10 seconds

and automaticlly redirect the page to the other URL ?!

[Lumio]

no.

You can only automatically redirect a page by

header('Location: newpage.php');

wouldnt javascript redirecting be easier?

Or you can use HTML or JavaScript...examples below.

 

HTML:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=someurl.com" />

 

JavaScript:

var timeLeft = 10;
var redirectTo = "msn.com";
var timeInt = setInterval(checkTime, 1000);

function checkTime() {
     timeLeft--;
     if (!timeLeft) { clearInterval(timeInt); window.location=redirectTo; }
}

That's about the simplest way.

use header refresh:

header("refresh:10; url=http://www.google.com");

 

What that will do is wait 10secounds then redirect the user to google. change goole's url to your url and place the code where you need it. However make sure there is no output when you call this function. Only send output after you have called it.

I didn't even know that refresh but still widely supported but hey, I guess it's the exact same thing as using <meta> to do it.  Good call.
