The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PHP redirect, after page has loaded

Asked by j8vy in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: php, redirect, after, page

Hello, I know that this question has been asked a million times, a million different ways here at experts-exchange, but unfortunately I was unable to find an existing answer to my question in my search through the existing resolutions. I would like to load my 404 error page completely (display the entire page of content), then after a few seconds, redirect to a specified url of my site.

I would like to be able to either redirect them to the previous page, or to a new url of my site, based on a variable or something, and I would like to set the refresh time via a variable.
E.g.
redirect (
time = 3 /* Refresh time in seconds */
new = 0
/* If $new = 0 we go to a new, if new = 1 we go to the previous page
if $new == 0; {
new_url = http://newpage/;
} else {
new_url = $referrer;
}
)
/* Now perform the redirect after a set amount of $time
redirect()

... Obviously I don't know the code, but maybe you will get my idea.

All of my hosting accounts support php, and I use it heavily, especially on my MT installations, so this script should work fine for me. Also, I do not want to rely on JavaScript or a meta tag to perform the refresh, because in some instance, both of these methods may fail, sometimes related to the browser, or JavaScript being disabled by the user. Where, if the server is performing the redirect, it "should" always work.

I appreciate an advice that would be provided. I am definately not a PHP guy, so I need your help :).

Regards,
-MattV
