[PHP] Wait for a while then redirect

[Shadow121]

I'm working on a new site in which i want a function that will wait x amount of time defined in hte calling of it then print the redirect script.

Any suggestions on how?

You should be able to do this with sleep(); the parameter for it is an integer representing the number of seconds you want to delay script execution.

Alternatively, you can just use this line of HTML code:

<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='[seconds];URL=main.php'>

Okay, i'll try that.
Edit: That works thanks ^^

Edit 2: I've done that in the past but this time i'm going to keep it XHTML Valid.

You wanted a php script, not a meta refresh
here's what you want:

$time = 3; //Time (in seconds) to wait.
$url = "http://www.google.be"; //Location to send to.
header("Refresh: $time; url=$url");
