Simple Forward ???

[mastero4]

I am trying to have a simple forward script, small like the includes script. I have seen many for going to outside sites that are 2-3 page scripts, but just need little 1 liners. I just want someone to see a page for about 3-5 seconds and then get forwarded to another page.

I feel stupid for not knowing this easy task, but I have not needed it for PHP yet.

Thanks in advance.

Well, you can't do that in PHP. Since PHP is server-side and waiting (you said 3-5 seconds) is client-side, you'll have to use client-side coding. This can be achieved via JavaScript or meta tags. I recommend the latter, as it is more accepted of a method, and more browsers recognize it.
The HTML tag would look like this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;URL=newpage.php">

Notice the 3 in there. That's the second count before they are redirected.

Thank you. I did not even think of it being server side issue, that is why nothing worked.

Thanks
