Equivalent for meta http-equiv="refresh"

[quasibobo]

Hi there,

What is the equivalent in PHP for this HTML-tag:<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=next_page.php"> ?

The structure of my pages is so that all the SQL_queries happen in different pages than the pages the information comes from. But after proccessing the script, I need PHP to re-direct the viewers back or to another page (like the meta-tag does).

How do I do that in PHP?
Now I add the meta-tag in the head of the PHP file, so it really is a HTML-file with PHP-script. But I want it to be just PHP!

Thanks in advance,

Quasibobo

That is a client side function and cannot be done with PHP. The closest thing you can do is a header location redirect, like this..

header ("Location: http://www.mysite.com/index.php");

This must be placed before ANY output to the browser. AFAIK there is no way to display content then redirect using this technique.
