Good day!
I just want to ask a little help on how to redirect the user to the previous page after 5 seconds?
Thank you!

I tried your code above but it seems its not working on my side? What I did wrong? below is my implementation..
<?php
function delayer(){
header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
} ?>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 5000)" id="error-page">

PsychicTide, Ive implemented the JS and its working!.. Thank you! code below..
<script type="text/javascript">
function delayer(){
window.history.go(-1);
}
</script>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 5000)" id="error-page">
However this one works too with only one line of code..
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL='<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>'" />
Problem Solved.. Thank you!
