header location delay

Question

I have the following php code which I want to add a delay too:

Answer 1

You won't be able to see the message if you're using a header(Location) redirect. In fact, that redirect shouldn't work at all since output starts before the headers are sent. Instead, you should echo a meta tag refresh with a delay, like this echo '';

which will have a delay of five seconds. Alternatively, (and more properly) you could output a JS redirect, as the meta refresh tag is deprecated.
