Greetings all.

I'm working on a holiday update for my website and I've got an idea that involves redirection.

I'm trying to write PHP code that will automatically redirect a visitor from page one to page two after say ten seconds.

Help!

Search for "meta refresh" ( you don't need to use PHP to do what you want..there are various other ways )..HTH :)

Or... JavaScript timer event to change the location.href?

You could use PHP to write out the meta refresh (or the JavaScript) but PHP itself cannot do this.

If you use JavaScript you could perhaps allow the user to 'pause' the redirection if required?

sleep(10);
header("Location: page-two.htm");

As long as there is no output to screen, this should work.

If you want to redirect user after the page loads, then only javascript can provide you with a solution.

Keep-alive may not keep the connection open for that long.

Your redirect also returns a 302 status.
