Please make a command that redirects a user in the middle of code. Similar to the Response.Redirect on ASP.

Why? Because header("Location:") cannot redirect unless it's BEFORE the <html> tag. And I want the following:

<html>

Making new DATABASE record..<br>
<? SQL code goes here...
   INSERT INTO ...

   If error die( redirect("error.html") );
   else redirect("index.html") );
?>


Would be nice with a wait (seconds) command too, so we are sure that the user get some time to see the result, before being redirected.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
