mike, using php to add a refresh to the header is just the same as adding a meta tag in html. the purpose of the the meta tag is to act like the headers being sent to the browser.

QUOTE(cmatcmextra @ May 1 2005, 09:55 PM) It may be the modern way but people still have javascript disabled even if they don't want it to. An annoying virus may come along and disable it for them. There are a lot of idiots out there who don't know how to adjust security settings. Also it's harder to remember. If I had to do it anyway out of those 3, I'd use php because it will refresh for everyone regardless  Are you really sure that PHP has a refresh? Do you have a proof? Do you have a website that uses that method? Well, some Ad Remover software, like Ad Muncher, sometimes the user disables META Redirect. |

QUOTE Are you really sure that PHP has a refresh? Yes, they just said and if would be a pretty dumb language if it didn't QUOTE Do you have a proof? Doesn't the trap17 shoutbox use refresh and it does refresh. QUOTE Do you have a website that uses that method? Yes trap17. It would hard to work it out though because you don't see it in the view source. Even if it doesn't there has to be some website which uses php refresh. QUOTE sometimes the user disables META Redirect. We're not talking about meta redirect, we're talking about php refresh. If may not work 100% of the time but it will work more often than the other methods. Anyway isn't the point of obtaining a server sided langauge to use it? |

just to summarize this topic so that everything is clear.
Methods for refreshing: JavaScript - not really a good way because end users tend to disable their js support. Meta Refresh - Some say that end users also can disable them PHP Refresh through header() - Most effective i think. |

Well, some Ad Remover software, like Ad Muncher, sometimes the user disables META Redirect. That explains why you looked stupid on my site when you said that the shoutbox was ugly, and that the boards had a bad layout. Your shoutbox is really bad, in my opinion. But nonetheless, you said mine wasn't good and you didn't even bother to check it out. If you checked it out, you would have noticed that it refreshes every 5 seconds. And it uses the header() method. CODE // What's at the top of my shoutbox.php page: header('Refresh: 5'); |

I'm going to close this thread before karlo comes and starts bickering, and everyone will start flaming each other. Besides, the problem seems to be solved anyway.
Thread closed. |

Yup, agree with electriic ink. And furthermore, the html one is easier and simpler. But there's 1 thing which I am concern about. Does all browsers support that...??
