    Hello,

    I was wondering how to create a code that opens a link, but before it does so it goes to another page that says:

    Redirecting to the destined page in 5 seconds...

    It is sort of like a landing page for all out bound links.

    Please help, Thank you!!

    How about this...

    

<?php
    header("Refresh: 3; url=\"http://www.google.com\"");
    echo "You will be redirected to Google in 3 seconds..."
?>
    Code (markup):

    Create:

    redirect.php

    Add the following code to it:

    
<?php
    header("Refresh: 3; url=\"$_GET[url]\"");
    echo "You will be redirected to $_GET[url] in 3 seconds..."
?>
    Code (markup):
    Then you just call the page in this format:

    redirect.php?url=http://google.com
    redirect.php?url=http://site.com

    Peace,

    Thanks for the help guys,

    Is there any way to create a link that will link to a website (google.com), but automatically go through my redirection page (mysite.com/redirectpage) and then redirect to google in a set amount of time. (5seconds)

    Thanks

    This may involve .htaccess?

    This is what azizny's script does. No point doing .htaccess for a simple redirection

    You can also do this with HTML:

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2; URL=http://www.address_of_the_website_goes_here.com">
<p>You are being redirected.  If your browser does not take you there, click <a href="http://www.address_of_the_website_goes_here_too.com">this link</a> to go there manually.</p>
    HTML:
    CONTENT="2 is the number of seconds

    Mark Oates example is very good, and if u want from ur page to redirect again page to google u can add on mysite.com/redirectpage this line: header("Location: google.com); exit(0);

    use javascript:

    onload=setTimeout("location.href='http://www.google.com'",10000)

    the number there is in milliseconds.

    put that code within the opening <body> tag right after the body, so like this

    <body #put code here#> </body>

    If you server supports php, simply use:
    
header("Location: YOURURL"); die();
    PHP:
    Javascript would be crazy to do, as PHP will be the 100% most crossbrowser in this situation.
    Also, if you use javascript, it will show a white page in a second (even if you set the redirect to 0), and then redirect.
    PHP will do an imedially redirect.

    But the OP wanted it to only redirect after a certain time. header() is immediate.
