Redirecting

[arrangements]

I've run through this my head many times and I cannot find a simple solution.

I want to have this sort of redirect page that will redirect after a certain amount time, say 3 seconds, and in the direct page I want to display a message based on the previous page's message.

For example I have a profile page and users can edit their profile. When they click submit I want them to be directed to a page that tells them to wait 3 seconds and tell them their profile has been updated.

header('Refresh: 3;URL=http://www.mysite.com/nextPage.php');

Maybe this will help what i'm faced up against:

...Snip of code...
if(something)
{
$success[] = You've done something correct;

... Now I need to redirect to the redirect page to display this message ...
}

bradgrafelman just gave you your answer. Put that snippet of code into your if statement.

Redirect page url encode you message as a get var
redirect page

header('Refresh: 3;URL=http://www.mysite.com/nextPage.php?message=you%20have%20done%something%20Right'); 

nextPage.php

<?
$message=$_REQUEST=['message'];

echo"$message";

?>

or
if you want to keep your urls clean

header('Refresh: 3;URL=http://www.mysite.com/nextPage.php?id=1'); 
//change the 1 based on a success or fail can be done by an extra variable 

if(success == "1")
{
$id = "1";
}
else
{
$id = "0";
}
header("Refresh: 3;URL=http://www.mysite.com/nextPage.php?id=$id"); 

nextpage.php
you can now set your errors here

[code=php]
<?
$id=$_REQUEST=['id'];

if (id =="1"
{
$message ="success you did something right";
}

elseif
{
$message ="opps you did something wrong";
}
else

{
$message ="other tesxt here";
}


echo"$message";

?>
