Use javascript or html...

<script>
function forwardpage(){
document.location='next.php';
}
setTimeout("forwardpage()",5000)
</script>

or

<meta HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=next.php">

PHP cannot do this and nightfire has given you the proper client-side solutions. The meta tag solution is probably your best bet as it is crossbrowser and does not depend upon javascript being enabled.

As so I will move this to the HTML forum....

Yea the meta tag works better, but older browsers don't support that.

If the browsers support JavaScript, you can do this too:

<body onLoad=window.setTimeout("location.href='http://yourname.com'",5000)>

the 5000 meaning 5 seconds

To be precise and avoid confusion it was first supported in Netscape Navigator 1.1 and Internet Explorer 2.0.
