Re: Make my page pause for a few secs

[shailen]

Hello,

Could you please give me the code to make my page pause for 5 seconds, so that while redirecting the user to a url, the user can read the message displayed.

Thank you...

sleep(5);

...that wont stop the browser from redirecting though...

Use Javascript for that kind of fancy crap.

Actually, you can specify the delay time right in the redirect tag. Example:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.phpbuilder.com">

would automatically redirect to phpbuilder after 5 seconds.

Is that PHP?
No... that's not PHP.

I was showing him how to make a PHP script pause. I do truly know lame ass HTML tricks, and assumed he did too.

Bit testy today? It's not worth getting upset about. Really. 🙂
