Yes, it would.

zkara

<?
sleep(30);
header("location:yourfile.php");

or

echo "<script>

window.location='yourfile.php';</script>";

exit;

must be work :mad:

Using

sleep(30);
header("location:yourfile.php");

would be very stupid. First, you can't print anything because headers are not completely sent, and second, the user will see nothing during 30 sec... it will surely go somewhere else.

The best way is to user three things : META-Refresh Tag, JavaScript, and a link. Why a link ? Simply because you can disable the META-Refresh tag and also disable JavaScript. If you do so, nothing will happen. That's why you have to put a link.

Yes, you could also use that. But what if that header feature isn't supported or is disabled in the broswer ?!?!

jonsof

how can you disable meta tag and javascript respectively?

Well, check in MSIE preferences and security level options... that's all there.
