php redirect help

ebg

I have a php redirect on a php page as stated below. Can someone tell me if I want a message stating "you are being redirected to this site...." printed on the page how I would go about this with the redirect below.

<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.theredirectedsite.com' ) ;
?>

Thank you.

You would have to you a meta_refresh header (html) tag instead. The code you show works instantly on the server, and will not output anything to the server.

<?php
     $redirectionURL = "http://www.theredirectedsite.com";
?>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function delayer(){
    window.location = "<?php print $redirectionURL ?>"
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 3000)">
<!-- 3000 is representing 3000 Milliseconds, or 3 seconds -->
<p>You are being redirected !!!</p>
</body>
</html>

Does that help at all?

Why use PHP at all in that code gszauer? Wouldn't this slight edit to your code also work?

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function delayer(){
    window.location = "http://www.theredirectedsite.com"
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 3000)">
<!-- 3000 is representing 3000 Milliseconds, or 3 seconds -->
<p>You are being redirected !!!</p>
</body>
</html>
