[proctk]

Hi My tring to send a variable through a url then once that variable will be called to display the message.  After the message is displayed I want want the user redirected to a new page after a time delay,  any help is excellent

 

/*Log Error*/
$page = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$referring_page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$userIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$query_error_logging = ("INSERT INTO error_tracking (page, referring_page, error_msg, user_id, ip_address, error_date)VALUES('$page', '$referring_page', '$msg', '$user_id', '$userIP', now())");
$log_error = mysql_query($query_error_logging)or die("SQL Error: $query_error_logging<br>" . mysql_error());

header("Location: $url?msg=$msg&id=null");

header('refresh: 2; url=familyProfile.php');
exit();
}

code that displays the message

 

<?php
$msg = (isset($_GET['msg']) AND $_GET['msg']<> "") ? urldecode($_GET['msg']) : ''; 
if ($msg <> "") {
  if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $msg = stripslashes($msg);
  }
  echo "<div id='alertMessage'><p style='margin-left:40px;'>$msg</p></div>";
}
?>

Your first call to header() will redirect to another page to display your message. You will need to do the next redirect from there. As it stands, your script will never get to the second header() call.
