Delay and Redirection Functions?

nmcglennon

I have a page that is my index.html, which just displays a logo, I want it to display the logo for a second or two and then forward the browser to a new page... is there anyway to do this with PHP? I am assuming I'd have to use a delay and redirection function of some sort... please help!

i know you specifically stated PHP, but ...

put this in the <head> section and adjust the 10 time to whatever you want, same w/ url.

There are a few different ways you can do this,
You can do this with just an html meta tag

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="4; URL=http://yoursite.com/page2.html"> 
//content=4:  means refresh in 4 seconds
//URL this is where you want the browser to refresh

You can also do this in PHP using these functions:
sleep()
header()

flush();
sleep(5);
header("Location: page2.html");
//maybe something like this however this snippet used exactly I
 //don't think will work....but at least get you on the right track

There are also ways to do this with javascript:
