Just wondering what the html/php command/tag/code was to auto forward users to the new updated page.
ie: when we submit a thread/reply we are taken to a page that loads, I assume to run specified php code, then we are forwarded back to the thread we just created/replied to. I was just wondering what this "auto-forward" is called, as without knowing what it is, cannot find it in my reference guide.

Just wondering as I am creating a php page, and this function would be very useful to my end users.

You can forward with header ("Location: URLHere"); (PHP) or <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=URLHere"> (HTML)

Example (PHP):

Code:

<? 
header &#40;"Location&#58; http&#58;//www.ntcompatible.com"&#41;;
exit;
?>

Example (HTML):

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=http&#58;//www.ntcompatible.com">
<TITLE>One moment...</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>
</BODY>
</HTML>
