Note Submitter: Bharath Gandhi ---- I wanted to redirect my page, after displaying a status result from feedback form submit click, to the home page of the website. I tried displaying the status message for 'n' seconds, before redirecting to the homepage, using the 'sleep()' function but I was stuck with the header ("Location=$url") command, as it always returned the message "headers already sent", after displaying the status message, and the page was stuck there. using 'url' instead of 'location' along with the 'refresh' parameter, instead of 'sleep()' function, worked for me in this case. <?php header( "refresh:5;url=wherever.php" ); echo 'You\'ll be redirected in about 5 secs. If not, click <a href="wherever.php">here</a>.'; ?>
