Pause or sleep

Is there a way to wait 1 second before a site redirects ?

I have a subdomane that redirects to my new website, but it's redirected sp fast that the things written on the page 'You are being forwarded to......' is not written.
Right now the scritp is like this:

<?ob_start()?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Before TrioPop ... Now Sikken Fest</title>
<META NAME="Title" content="Before TrioPop ... Now Sikken Fest">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="The Trio TrioPop has today changed name to the duo Sikken Fest."> 
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" height="100%">
 <tr>
      <td align="center"><b>You are automaticly being forwarded to www.sikenfest.dk<td>
 </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

<?header("Location: http://www.sikkenfest.dk?triopop=ok");?>

But it would be nice if the text was shown on the screen for maybe 3-4 second before it redirects.
I have tried <?sleep(3);?> before the redirect line, but if I do that it just waits 3 seconds bofre redirecting but the without the text being shown.

Is there a way to do this ?

That's bad coding anyway; server redirects should not contain any body content.

What you're after is a client-side solution (since it's the client you want to sit and wait for a few seconds, not the sever). A <meta> tag like

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3; URL=http://www.sikkenfest.dk?triopop=ok">

Where '3' is the delay.
