need help in redirecting code in php

[8mole]

gud day,

i hope someone can assist me on what code needs to be added on my existing login script. once someone has gone through registering an account , there is a thank you message being displayed however i want it to be redirected to the login page in a specific time like 5 seconds.

How will I do that ?

here's the code the i have for my login page just in case you to see it...

many thanks...

<?php
include 'dbc.php';

$user_email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);

if ($POST['Submit']=='Login')
{
$md5pass = md5($POST['pwd']);
$sql = "SELECT id,user_email FROM users WHERE
user_email = '$user_email' AND
user_pwd = '$md5pass' AND user_activated='1'";

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);

if ( $num != 0 ) { 

    // A matching row was found - the user is authenticated. 
   session_start(); 
   list($user_id,$user_email) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
	// this sets variables in the session 
	$_SESSION['user']= $user_email;  


	if (isset($_GET['ret']) && !empty($_GET['ret']))
	{
	header("Location: $_GET[ret]");
	} else
	{
	header("Location: myaccount.php");
	}
	//echo "Logged in...";
	exit();
} 

header("Location: login.php?msg=Invalid Login");
//echo "Error:";
exit();
}

?>

<?php if (isset($GET['msg'])) { echo "<div class=\"msg\"> $GET[msg] </div>"; } ?>

Use setTimeout() in javascript to time out the page. And use document.location in javascript to send them were you want them.

on a success register, use the header location to the logln page, and make a welcome message.

And i think this is not so safe:

if (isset($_GET['ret']) && !empty($_GET['ret']))
{
header("Location: $_GET[ret]");
