Automatically Redirecting a user

[Designer_101]

Hi

I wonder if anyone could help me with this idea.
I would like to automatically redirect a user once they have logged in. An good example would be like daniweb's, a page appears saying 'you will be redirected in 3 seconds otherwise click here'.

Is this done through javascript, php or ajax ?
How would it be written?

Thanks for any help

If you do a search, you'll easily find info on this. One link that may be useful is:

header( 'refresh: 5; url=http://www.example.com' );

Can also be a url relative to your site, like: home.php etc.
