Hi I now have my user input form working quite nicely sending inputted data into a text file on the server and then displaying a thankyou message to the user,but how can i tell the thank_you.php file to display and pause for say 10 seconds then auto link into a flash movie
you can either use the http meta refresh construct, or you could use a javascript function.
Either way, if you wish your client to see a nother page without following a link, you need client side technology, not server side.
