Login redirection

I’ve noticed that some php websites have a login with a redirecting page once you submit your username and password. Like webdeveloper.com has. It says “Thank you for logging in” and then it has a link “click here if page doesn’t auto redirect you”. What is the reason for this? Is that page just fetching the users info form the database?

@scragarNov 01.2007 — I think it's because there is a single login page, and to have an instant redirect may leave the users wondering if they logged in or not. it's become more of a standard now to do the gradual redirection now...

Also in #PHP
