The simplest way to do this is to use a <META> tag in between the <HEAD> tags of your document. Here's an example...

CODE

The value for 'content' is the time in seconds that want the original page to be displayed, the example shows 5 seconds. The value for 'url' is the page you want to redirect to.

Hope that helps.

I use Header php-function for redirection in me pages!

Code like

CODE

can be stopped by Escape button pressing!!!

About php function - Header

The special case is the "Location:" header. Not only does it send this header back to the browser, but it also returns a REDIRECT (302) status code to the browser unless some 3xx status code has already been set.

CODE

<?php

header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location: including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative URIs.

You can usually use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and dirname() to make an absolute URI from a relative one yourself:

CODE

<?php
header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
. rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\')
. "/" . $relative_url);
?>

Note: Session ID is not passed with Location header even if session.use_trans_sid is enabled.
It must by passed manually using SID constant.

@DeveloperX
Does the header() function provide him with the delay he wants? He said he already tried using the header() function but couldn't get it to put a delay in before it redirected. Is there a delay type function in PHP that can be combined with the header() function, something like the javascript timeout() function perhaps? I don't know enough about PHP to answer that question.

@Avalon

Guys! Please seeee my next source code example!

CODE

<?php

//For Ex. I want wait 2 seconds

$sec0=2;//delay
$sec1=date('s');//current server second
$sec2=-1;//for first cycle begin
while($sec2<$sec1+$sec0){$sec2=date('s');}

header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

exit;

?>

Very nicely done, that should solve his wait problem. I have to agree with you, it's simple and very cool.

One moment please,
You must check "MAX TIME EXECUTION" on your server php-configuration!
Usefully it equal 30 seconds!
But some hosting providers set this parameter for more 30 secs!!!

I like the script since it works, but you need to be able to write to the document.
I'd like to be able to say

"Thanks for registering. Please wait while the page redirects you" or something.

Protected Sub LinkBack_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
'Using Page parameters for Back Navigation

If Not Request.Params("ID") Is Nothing Then
Response.Redirect("ExpertsGallery.Aspx")
Else
'String url contains aspx page name from page parameter "URL"
Dim url As String = Request.QueryString("URL")
Response.Redirect(url.ToString())
End If
End Sub

In this code else block dosent work
