How to call other scripts without header method

John

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.url">
</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.
