basically i have a very simple redirect in my site

Code: Select all

<script type='text/javascript'>

window.location = '".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."'

</script>
its echo'd with php where needed and works fine but i wan to put a delay on it so i can show a message befor redirecting (much like phpbb does when you login and stuff) does anyone know how i can do this?

i have tried

Code: Select all

<body onLoad='setTimeout('delayer()', 5000)'>
but it doesnt work. any help would be appreciated

thanks

use

Code: Select all

<?php header('Refresh: 5; url = http://www.php-forum.com'); ?>
if it doesn't work, you always can use HTML meta tags to refresh to different page

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://www.php-forum.com" />
