Can you set a timer in a php page?

Is there a way to set a timer on a certain php page before redirecting to another page?

Is this possible?

 

You could echo a javascript redirect. Otherwise there's the PHP sleep function.

 

Red number is your timer - change it to 5 and it will redirect after 5 seconds :

 

ok..

I have another question..

What if you want to show a text message after 2 seconds.. The text will show after 2 seconds?

 

Javascript is best. Google javascript timer...

Depends if you mean message-box or plain text on the page.

 

You will need to use JavaScript. PHP is executed on the server side so all the delays will not show to the client (it will just be a delayed page load).

JavaScript is a client side language which will allow the client to view all the changes and delays made by the code.


I hope that helps!
