PHP Redirect Code

[2939195631902]

I can make page redirect to another page using php. But how do i do it so that it will only redirect after a certain period of time instead of instantly.

You don't do that on the server with PHP - instead you use a META tag in the document you want displayed until the redirect happens. This page has example code.

So i can't control how long users will wait before redirected?

[Matt Wiseley]

Yes, you can - it's timed by the browser. Read the page I linked to.

Redirect to http://example.com/ after 5 seconds:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://example.com/" />
