Page redirect after certain time PHP
PhpRedirectPhp Problem Overview
There is a certain PHP function for redirecting after some time. I saw it somewhere but can't remember. It's like the gmail redirection after logging in. Please, could anyone remind me?
Php Solutions
Solution 1 - Php
header( "refresh:5;url=wherever.php" );
this is the php way to set header which will redirect you to wherever.php in 5 seconds
> Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include, or require, functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file. (source php.net)
Solution 2 - Php
You can use javascript to redirect after some time
setTimeout(function () {
window.location.href= 'http://www.google.com'; // the redirect goes here
},5000); // 5 seconds
Solution 3 - Php
You can try this:
header('Refresh: 10; URL=http://yoursite.com/page.php');
Where 10 is in seconds.
Solution 4 - Php
you would want to use php to write out a meta tag.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://www.yoursite.com">
It is not recommended but it is possible. The 5 in this example is the number of seconds before it refreshes.
Solution 5 - Php
header( "refresh:5;url=wherever.php" );
indeed you can use this code as teneff said, but you don't have to necessarily put the header before any sent output (this would output a "cannot relocate header.... :3 error").
To solve this use the php function ob_start(); before any html is outputed.
To terminate the ob just put ob_end_flush(); after you don't have any html output.
cheers!

The PHP refresh after 5 seconds didn't work for me when opening a Save As dialogue to save a file: (header('Content-type: text/plain'); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename>");)
After the Save As link was clicked, and file was saved, the timed refresh stopped on the calling page.
However, thank you very much, ibu's javascript solution just kept on ticking and refreshing my webpage, which is what I needed for my specific application. So thank you ibu for posting javascript solution to php problem here.

If you are redirecting with PHP, then you would simply use the sleep() command to sleep for however many seconds before redirecting.
But, I think what you are referring to is the meta refresh tag:

You can use this javascript code to redirect after a specific time. Hope it will work.
setRedirectTime(function ()
{
window.location.href= 'https://www.google.com'; // the redirect URL will be here
},10000); // 10 seconds
