I currently have the code:

CODE

header(Refresh: 5; url=www.yahoo.com);


I was wondering...is there a way to have it display the actual seconds remaining before it does the redirect...something like:

You will be redirected to Yahoo! in 5 seconds.

...then have it keep on updating the time, to like:

You will be redirected to Yahoo! in 4 seconds.

...etc

If so, how? I tried Google and the search option in this forum, yet no matches found.

HTML
<input id="Timer" readonly type="text">
<script>
var timer = document.getElementById('Timer');
timer.value=5;
var seconds = 0;
var minutes = 5;
function con()
{
if(minutes<-1)
{
window.location="yahoo.com";
}
seconds ++;
if(seconds==50)
{
timer.value = minutes;
minutes -=1;
seconds = 0;
}
setTimeout("con()",10);

Instead of window.location="yahoo.com", use url="www.yahoo.com" or similar, so it redirects to an actual site, not a containing folder etc smile.gif

So for the particular task, you would recommend JavaScript instead of PHP?

For something that's constantly changing, like a countdown, you have to use JavaScript. PHP won't work for a countdown display because whatever code was supposed to execute has already been executed on the server.
