Can someone tell me how to automatically redirect a page to another page?

Put this in the <head>:<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=page.htm" />
Replace 5 with the number of seconds you want it to wait before it redirects, and replace page.htm with the URI of the page you want it to redirect to.

You can also do it with php, if you have php support on your server.
Insert this in the top of the page.


<?php
header("Location: changeThisToThePageToRedirecTo.php");
?>


Because php code is parsed before executing the html, using the php method immediately redirects your page.

With the <META > redirection, the browser may read your page until the point where the redirection command is located.
