Pausing the screen

Kyo

I've created a log in page.
What I'm trying to make happen is when the user log in fails a message saying Log in Failed will display for about 3 seconds and then take them back to log in page.

Any idea how to make this happen?

this is what I have so far:

else {
echo "<FONT color = red> Log in failed. </FONT><br>";
echo "Name or Password did not match";

for ($counter=1; $counter <=1000, $counter++)

{

}

header('Location: login.swf');
exit;

}

All this does though is just take me back to the log in page doesn't display the Log in failed message. When I try'd it with a simple for loop the page just took longer to load.

Was also cerious if there is a way to make information pause with out it being dependent on Processor speed.

any help would be much appriciated 🙂

well, you can just create an HTML page saying "LOGIN FAILED" and then redirect the user back to login page (login.php, for example)

Just add the following line to your HTML file:

where 5 there means 5 seconds. That's it!
