Hello guy,

I have a website it's basicly a rss feed website. When a user click on a link they leave the page (with _blank).
But i want to make a leave page something like www.domain.com/go/ they stay on this page for let's say 5 sec and they the script directs the user to the link they've clicked.

I've google this but i don't know how it's caled or how to do it.

Thanks,
Cosmin.

print 'You will be redirected in 3 seconds...';
header('Refresh:3 ; URL=index.php');

i've put the link like "domain.com/go.php?link=the redirect url"

and i've put this code

<?php 

$url=$_GET['link'];

?>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>IceHD - Stiri online : Gateway</title>
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL='<?php echo $url; ?>'" />
        </head>
    <body>
    <p>You are being redirected to <?php echo $url; ?></p>
    </body>
</html>

It works, i hope this is the best way to do it, any oppinons ?

This is fine. The meta tag is made for this, although I don't think you need the single quotes around your URL.
