    How to call other scripts without header method

    I would like to know how I can automatically call other scripts if I
    have to first display a message. The reason is I would like to
    display a message for about 30 seconds then automatically call another
    script but if I do this with header() I get an error.
    Another question I have is, Is there a PHP method equivalent to
    setInterval() in JavaScript?

    Thank you
    John

      Hmmm... sleep() maybe?

          You could use this to display a message and redirect after 30 seconds:

          <html>
          <head>
          <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="30;URL =http://your.redirect.u rl">
          </head>
          <body>
          Your message here
          </body>
          </html>

              Sure, but the op asked for a solution *without* using the header method
              because that caused an error.
