Hi, Farzan

Redirecting is something you can do in a way the user doesn't see anything
(I call them server-side redirects) and in a way the user get's informed
that the url has changed (I call them client-side redirects).

What I mean with server-side (mostly called internal redirects) is if the
user requests a page, you can do stuff with mod_rewrite (in Apache) or some
equal webserver-module to call another file than requested. The user will
not get any notice about that.

Client-side redirects can be done using the HTTP-header (see
list-of-http-status<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#3xx_Redirection>;),
JavaScript (please think also about a non-js solution) and by using a HTML-Meta
tag http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh.
In my opinion the best way to do a redirect, where the user gets noticed
about, is the HTTP-header. This can be set f.e by your webserver or by a
php-script.

Example for PHP-script:

header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com"; );

As far as I know, this is the only way to let other services (f.e. a
search-engine) know that this page has been moved permanently (or
temporarily) to another url.
That's the reason why I use the header-command (incl. setting the
HTTP-Status explicitly). If you don't set the HTTP-header, it will be added
(by PHP or your webserver). In my case, I use PHP 5.4 and nginx 1.2.1, the
header-code 302 is added if I don't set it.

May there are more ways to set redirects, but this are the one I know of.

Bye
Simon

you can use header("Refresh: 60"); to refresh your current page if that
what you really need. 60 means it will be refresh in 60 seconds.

When you say "reload page" do you mean redirect to another page or refresh the current page?

You can reload or redirect a page using a meta tag in your HTTP head block -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh -- but if you're wanting to redirect the user to another page you really should use an HTTP header.
