PHP Redirect Code

Hi, I am trying to locate a php redirect code that allows you to control the time in how long it will take before it redirects the page to the other. If anyone can help, please let know!. Thank you!

 

PHP redirects are instantaneous. If you want to use a redirect with a time delay you should output a HTML redirect page from your php.

 

function redirect($time, $topage)
{
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"{$time}; url={$topage}\" /> ";
}

redirect(3,'location.php');

 

you could use the sleep function such as

<?php
  goNow();
?>

<?php
  function goNow(){
    //will wait 5 seconds 
    sleep(5);
    header('Location: http://www.google.com');
  }
?>

PHP:

 

+1 to blackthought, a php version of delaying redirect

 

This is the delayed redirection

header('refresh:3; url=http://www.google.com');

PHP:

3 seconds delay

 

-1,000,000 for hanging a server process and a connection while executing nothing

 

not the fine english way to clog the server this way.
a meta refresh is the right way to do it.

 

Thank you ALL!

 

that's nice. and yes, sleep is NOT a good idea.
