php best way to redirect
Hi,
I was wondering what the best way is to redirect a user after they have submitted a form. currently after submitting the form a user would have to sit at a blank php page.
I need it to redirect after some operations are performed.
whats the best way?
thanks.

You can also use http_redirect() which is more forgiving if you happen to send output out to the page before you redirect.
It is part of the http extension, but if you have pecl or pear installed, pretty simple to add.

http extension included many other powerful functions as well.

What if I do not want to redirect right away and wait about 7 seconds?
PHP offers a "sleep()" function, i.e sleep(7).
