Please Pardon if the question sounds silly, but nevertheless its a question which I want to know. 🙂

How can I redirects which display that you are being redirected (like older Gmail and LinkedIn). Whenever I tried to do that, I got errors saying that Headers were already sent.

Then somebody here told me that I should not output any markup before redirection (like facebook login). So how do I go about it and display something nice during redirection??

    you want to use meta redirects. they enable you to show a page, and after a few seconds this page will send you to the new page. all you have to do is add a tag to the portion of your ‘something nice’ redirection page.

    here’s a quick tutorial on meta redirects:

    you want to do something like this:

    <html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=whereto">

    were 2 is the number of seconds to display your page and whereto is where you want to send your user
