set_redirect_header() FUNCTION
------------------------------
------------
USAGE FORMAT
------------
Within a PREPROCESS tag:
&set_redirect_header($url)
&set_redirect_header($url, $delay)
-----------
DESCRIPTION
-----------
A direct implementation of the redirect_header() function on the $_HEADER
value. Sets the $_HEADER value to a fully qualified redirecting refresh HTTP
header, with an optional delay (in seconds), complete with double new line
character (\n) termination. Note that the entire page will be loaded before
redirection occurs, so care should be taken to prevent page loading when
ONLY a redirect is reqired without showing page contents. May be used ONLY
in a PREPROCESS tag.
---------
ARGUMENTS
---------
$url
REQUIRED
The full URL to which you wish to redirect the user.
$delay
OPTIONAL
The number of seconds you wish to delay on the page before redirecting.
This most often gives the user a chance to read a redirection message
before the redirection occurs. If no delay time is given, no delay is
assumed.
-------
RETURNS
-------
NONE
--------------
USAGE EXAMPLES
--------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example 1: Redirecting to Another Page After 5 Seconds in a PREPROCESS Tag
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?: &set_redirect_header('http://www.mysite.com/page2.ptm', 5); ?>
