Question

can I use point in time?

something like:

header('refresh:1.5; url=xxx');

Answer 1

Yes you can use:

header('refresh: 2; url=someurl.php');

Where 3 is the time in seconds. More info about the header can always be found here.

But anyway I always advocate a combination to avoid problems with some browsers:

• Header (as you’re doing)
• Meta tag (in the HTML head)
• JavaScript timeout

When using the header I don’t think you can use a decimal like 1.5. In any case I doubt any user notices the difference between 2 and 1.5 seconds. But if this is important to you, you can achieve it by using the JavaScript timeout.

Redirection ways

Meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://www.yourwebsite.com/someurl.php"> 

JavaScript:

setTimeout(function() {
   window.location = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/someurl.php";
}, 1500);
