How to Redirect Page in PHP after a few seconds without meta http-equiv=REFRESH CONTENT=time

header, meta-tags, php, redirect, refresh

Solution

Try use "refresh" header:

header('Refresh: 3;url=page.php');

Also, you can look at this Question Refresh HTTP Header.

Problem

It seems that it is not advisable to use ``` <meta http-equiv=REFRESH CONTENT=3;url=url> ``` for redirects but instead use ``` header('Location: url') ``` However, I would like to show the user some message and allow them some time to read it before redirecting. Is there a way to do it without meta?
