redirect

Manat

Hello All

I have a form, when the user clicks Submit, he goes to a thank you page. In that .php Thank you page, I give a thank you, your message has been sent text, now how do I wait 3 seconds or so, then redirect the user to another page, say ../wtv.php?

Thank You
MK

Put this between <head> and </head>:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url=wtw.php">

There is another way to do that in PHP code as opposed to client side code.

sleep(3);
header("location:wtv.php");

Well... he outputs HTML before redirecting... he can't use header() ! He must use the META tag...

dreamweaver

has another way to redirect except use header function and meta tag ?
ex :
do something
check if true
redirect to page 1
else
redirect to page 2

If you don't output anything, yes.

<?
// some code...
if(condition) {
      $location = "http://www.server.com/directory/file1.php3";
} else {
      $location = "http://www.server.com/directory/file2.php3";
}
header("Location :$location\n");
?>
