Re: Output buffering

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here, Maxim. I agree with the usage of include, as that may be helpful... the user gets a message, waits a period of time, and the second file is included. However, the downside to this is of course that the message doesn't go away... But it looks like you were going for a redirect anyway. To simplify what I mean, the end result would've been: : <? : echo 'redirecting you to bar.php'; : sleep(3); : header("Location bar.php"); : ?> ...which would simply display the echo'd message because headers can't be sent after content. So, IMO, you're stuck with a META or JavaScript redirect.
