How can I direct user to another page automatically after few second?

swon

there are a few ways to do this, just one of these is via js:

<?
echo '<script language="JavaScript">
i=0;
timeri();

function timeri(){
if(i<10){
i=i+1;
}
tid=setTimeout("timeri()",100);
if(i==10){
clearTimeout(tid);window.location.href="'.$site.'";
}
}
</script>';
?>

edit the 100 in the timeout to configure the seconds;
1000 would be 10 seconds (cause i loops to 10);

Thank you swon. 🙂

Do you think PHP provide any timer control over the server?

Try this

where the content is the no of seconds

Thanks zyad. 🙂

I like this simple code very much as it can't turn off by the user (secure) and I found this code can be placed even within the <HTML> and <BODY>.

Cheer 😃

There always got alternative ways of doing things

Actually, Meta refreshes can be turned off by users. In IE, you can do it by setting a custom level of security. However, it is much more unlikely that they would have that disabled than javascript.

I thought this META refresh is handled by Server Side. Now I know this is processed by the client browser... 🙁

Anyway, thanks for your inputs. 🙂

Yes, it's handled client side. I would highly doubt that too many people would have meta refreshes turned off, though. And, just in case, you can specify something like this in the body...

If this page does not redirect in X seconds, click <a href="yourlink.htm">here</a>.

OK. I learnt it. 🙂

I must appreciate your guys quick reponses. Your make me begin to enjoy in this forum. Keep your good work. 😃
