PHP redirect after 5 seconds

How do I redirect page with PHP after 5 seconds to file register.php? No Javascript or other code, just plain PHP.

Is it possible? How do I do it? I've seen Location: header.

You have a few options:

  1. Refresh Header

    header("Refresh:5; url=register.php");

  2. Sleep then Location Header

    sleep(5);
header("Location: register.php");

The first option is best, the sleep in the 2nd is blocking and could be used to DDos your service.

Use header Refresh. It is simple:

header("Refresh:5; url=register.php");

It should work, make sure no output is before this header.
