Delay and redirect

Is there anyway to display set flash data message first and then redirect to new page after a 5 secs delay in controller.

echo "Message";
sleep(5);
redirect();

Thanks

I was stuck at the same place:

1.Type this for static url in view file:

<?php
 header("Refresh: 5; url=\"http://www.google.com\"");
 echo "You will be redirected to google in 5 seconds...";
?>

2.Type this for base_url in view file :

<?php
  header('Refresh:5; url= '. base_url().'/create_event'); 
  echo "You will be redirected in 5 seconds...";
?>

//DON'T Forget to put semi-colon at end.

When you are in your controller method to set the flashdata, send to time ins econds :

controller.php

public function do_something(){
    //do somthing
    $this->session->set_flashdata('message_id', 'Message');//message rendered
    $this->session->set_flashdata('seconds_redirect', 5);//time to be redirected (in seconds)
    $this->session->set_flashdata('url_redirect', base_url('controller/method'));//url to be redirected

    redirect('folder/temp_view', 'refresh');
}

in your view/folder/temp_view.php

<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<?= $this->session->flashdata('seconds_redurect');?>;url=<?= $this->session->set_flashdata('url_redirect')?>" />
</head>
<body>

    <?= $this->session->flashdata('message_id');?>

</body>
</html>

with this you pass the message variables, time in which you want to be redirected to another page and the url to where it is redirected

Since you are loading the page, you need to use javascript to redirect.

Put this code in your html view :

<script>setTimeout(function(){window.location.href='newpage.html'},5000);</script>
