Question

How can i redirect to a page (home) via another page(success page) where some success message is to be displayed?

Answer 1

+2 A:

Place this between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags of your HTML code for createaccountsuccess.php:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="3; url=http://hompage.php"&gt;

The above HTML redirect code will redirect your visitors to hompage.php (but I think you want homepage.php :-) after 3 seconds.

These "few second messages" are usability fault. You cannot be sure it was read. And it's annoying. Just redirect user right to the user's details page where he can learn that registration was successful and can review his settings.

@OM it become even more annoying :) Look around: nobody uses it nowadays. It's last century technology. If user have to stay on the same page, we use AJAX both to submit and inform. If user going to go to another page - just redirect them.

Use a HTML-Meta-tag in the html-header

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=createaccountsuccess.php">

Javascript's setTimeout can be of help. But the better solution is one of those:

let user stay at that intermediate page and decide to leave it on himself
embed "success" message in the home page (use cookies for that)
