    Hello,

    If I send visitors to one page, how can I automaticly redirect them to another page ?

    Example:

    I send visitors to www.mywebsite.com and than they automaticly go to: www.mywebsite.com/page2 ...

    How can I do this ? I heard something about meta refresh or something.

    OR is there a HTML code, that I can save as a .php, so when people visit that, they automaticly go to another page.

    Please help me out.

    Put this at the top of your page:
    <?
    header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
    ?>
    This will send a visitor to the url given.

    try this :

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomainhere.com/index.html">

    place the code above between <head> </head>
    The content="0; may be changed to the number of seconds you want the browser to wait before redirecting.

    To automatically redirect someone from one link to a different page, just add this to the top of the page, BEFORE the <HTML> tag.

    <?
    $URL="YOUR URL HERE";
    header ("Location: $URL");
    ?>

    That's all it takes.

    Thank you, I placed the code in Header.php , but now I have this problem:

    I placed this code: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="3; url=http://www.yourdomainhere.com/index.html">

    Now, when someone visits the homepage, they automaticly go to the next page after 3 seconds.
    But the next page keeps refreshing everytime, after 3 seconds aswell.

    How can I make it stop refreshing the second page after it has been directed ?

    Please help me out?

    well, every files that take header.php will be redirected.
    revert your change on header.php, remove the script first.

    then you need to change your index.php page.
    copy the entire header.php content and paste it on index.php , then, apply the script on index.php
    and remove php script that call header.php in index.php

    if that's a bit complicated for you, just PM admin or cpanel username and password, and i will change it for you.

    I have placed the code in the header.php file and it is directing automaticly to the next page after 3 seconds.

    But WHY does the second page keeps refreshing :( ???

    ( Do I have to remove the word "refresh" from the code ??? ), or is there another solution ?

    As I said before, there's no need for anything Meta related or refresh related.

    Simple add this to the top of you page, above the <html> tags.

    <?
    $URL="YOUR URL HERE";
    header ("Location: $URL");
    ?>

    Put the URL in there and http://www.link1.com will automatically redirect to http://www.link2.com

    No refreshing.

    FallenShadow,

    Thank you, can you please answer these small questions for me aswell :

    - Do I have to place this code in my Header.php file ?

    - I want the visitor to see the first page for 3 seconds, than after 3 seconds they get automaticly directed to the other page.

    - And how can I redirect to more than one page ? Like page1 links automaticly to: page2, page3, page4, page5. ( It choses randomly a link, and links to it ).

    Please help me out.

    I've tried many different codes and realised this code is the really good:

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomainhere.com/index.html">

    The page does get directed to the right page, But the only problem is:

    after it goes to the second page, it automaticly refreshes the page every 3 seconds.

    How can I make it stop refreshing the second page ?

    Please help me out !!!

    like i said, just put the code in the page you want to redirect. And make sure you put it between <head> and </head>
    Don't put it on header.php

    Copy all the content inside header.php and paste it on the very first line of the page you want to redirect (eg:index.php)
    and remove code <? include 'header.php' ?> from index.php

    it should work.

    It's best to specify what type of redirect you want.
    header('Location: http://www.example.com', true, 301);
    ...for a permanent redirect, and 307 for temporary.

    Oke this is exactly what I want :

    - I want to buy visitors ( bulk traffic ) and send them to my home page.

    - Than once they get there, they should automaticly be directed to homepage.com/page2 . ( after 3 seconds ).

    - But the second page SHOULD not be refreshed after 3 seconds.

    How can I do this ?

    This code works good: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="3; url=http://www.yourdomainhere.com/index.html">

    But I don't want it to refresh the second page ...

    Please don't make it to complicated :(
