print stuff, wait 5 secs ridirect

[Anon]

I want to output some info to the user then after 5 seconds redirect him to another page, how could this be done?

I would use a html META tag.

This nice poster has an example:

I should add that to wait 5 seconds you change the 0 to a 5.

Try this function:
function wait($secs){
$temp=gettimeofday();
$start=(int)$temp["sec"];
while(1){
$temp=gettimeofday();
$stop=(int)$temp["sec"];
if ($stop-$start >= $secs) {
break;
}
}
}

//This is how you call it:

wait(5);
// then do your redirect.
