How can I make a PHP script that will redirect to another web page after 6 seconds
I am trying to avoid using the meta refresh feature

@NogDogNov 10.2008 — A page redirect from an already-displayed page will require action on the part of the browser, not your server-side script. So all I can suggest is either a PHP header() redirect (which is really just the same thing as a meta-tag redirect), or a JavaScript window.location() called by a timer function (and with the same caveats as all JavaScript functionality).

[code=php]
header('refresh:6; url=http://www.whatever-url.com');
[/code]

Success!
