how to refresh a html page using php?

[zgkhoo]

eg

echo "testing";
echo "testing";
echo "testing";
echo "testing";
echo "testing";

if(isset($_REQUEST['button'])){
//what should put in here to refresh the page?
}

PHP can't refresh the page, but it can redirect back, to the same page

 

header("Location: page.html");

 

You can do it in javascript easily, though.

 

oh. Also.. if your using the Header code, nothing can be outputted before-hand. It has to come before any data is sent to the browser.

then how to set the countdown time eg 20second..then auto redirect to another page? php can achieve that or not? thanks..

<?php
sleep(20);//seconds to wait..
header("Location:http://www.domain.com");
?>

i dont think you can redirect in php with data already sent but u can use java script.

 

echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.location = "PAGE LINK"</script>';

[zgkhoo]

this code seem dont have countdown time for redirect.

thanks..

try this:

 

<script language="javascript">

function redirect() {
document.location.href="mypage.html";
}

window.onload=function() {
setTimeout("redirect()", 20000);
}

</script>
<noscript>
// use this in case javascript is turned off
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="20; URL=mypage.html">
</noscript>

<?php
sleep(20);//seconds to wait..
header("Location:http://www.domain.com");
?>

 

That'll just increase the load time because the page will not be presented to the user before the script is finished executing. If set it to sleep for 20 seconds then it'll just take 20 seconds more before the page loads.

 

Do as said in the post above me.

If your going the PHP way; you could also use a header refresh.

 

<?php
$whereiamat = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
header("refresh: 20; url=$whereiamat");
?>

A Javascript solution will probably work best, for a simple count down

 

<script language="javascript">
var count = 20;
function countdown()
{
	document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = count;
	count = count-1;
	if(count == 0)
	{
		document.location.href="NewPage.html";
	}
}


</script>

<body onload="setInterval('countdown();', 1000);">
<div id="countdown">
</div>
</body>

USE META...

 

<?php

echo "Refreshing...";
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' content='0;URL=http://PAGE YOU NEED TO REFRESG.com'>";

?>

 

Its slows down the redirect, so you can echo a message before it...
