My question is, is there a faster way to redirect html pages other than just using <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="1; URL=login.php"> ? Is there any way we can do that in php so that it redirect "FASTER"? Right now I set the redirect time to be 1 sec, but for some reason it still takes kind of long until it actually redirects, I was wondering if there is any other way I can do this faster.

Yes, check out the "header" function. You will pass it a string argument: $my_url = "http://php.net/header"; // your URL goeth here header("Location: $my_url"); Note that you have to call header /before/ you send output to the browser. Erik
