How to call other scripts without header method

I would like to know how I can automatically call other scripts if I
have to first display a message. The reason is I would like to
display a message for about 30 seconds then automatically call another
script but if I do this with header() I get an error.
Another question I have is, Is there a PHP method equivalent to
setInterval() in JavaScript?

Thank you
John

Hmmm... sleep() maybe?

You could use this to display a message and redirect after 30 seconds:

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="30;URL =http://your.redirect.u rl">
</head>
<body>
Your message here
</body>
</html>

The HTTP-EQUIV means you're trying to fake an HTTP header. PHP gives
you the advantage of issuing a proper HTTP refresh header. I've never
done it, but this may work:

header("Refresh : 30; URL=http://example.com/");

From the quick bit of Googling I've done, I read that some browsers
may not support this header, but it is still more reliable than a META
refresh. Also, the redirect address should be included as part of your
message.


Sure, but the op asked for a solution *without* using the header method
because that caused an error.

I've got a main loop script that calls two other scripts that do no user interaction. All they do is send a couple of mysql update statements. Then they use header() to call the main loop again. This works fine, EXCEPT the mysql statement isn't finished by the time the main loop is called. This is a problem because the main loop actually queries that same table to show the value of the rows you just changed. If I refresh the page...

I have run an experiment to try to learn some things about floating point performance in managed C++. I am using Visual Studio 2003. I was hoping to get a feel for whether or not it would make sense to punch out from managed code to native code (I was using IJW) in order to do some amount of floating point work and, if so, what that certain amount of floating point work was approximately. To attempt to do this I made a program that...
