Display and redirect!

[mccanna]

Is it possible to display a php page for 3 or 4 seconds and then redirect the user back to the main menu page? If so, could you give a simple example or suggest an appropriate tutorial?

put this on the bottom of tha page you want displayed for xx seconds.

$sec = 5; // number of seconds until redirect
header("Refresh: $sec; url=http://www.yoururl.php");

Yes, you can use a meta refresh

[code]
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3; URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.php" >
[/code]

where 3 is the amount of seconds you want to display the page for.

Make sure you use the header function before the output of any text/html otherwise PHP will report back a warning error and your script wont run.
