RE: [PHP] PHP REDIRECT

I assume by meta refresh tag, you mean this: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;URL=http://example.org/"> What most people seem to not realize, is that the http-equiv attribute is just a way to specify HTTP headers in a meta tag. This is handy when you want to do so in static pages, but PHP has a more proper way to specify headers: http://www.php.net/header This creates a real HTTP header, and there is no reason for any PHP developer to use a meta tag for this purpose. Hope that helps.
