I am new to the yii framework, and I can't see to find any information or forums about how to redirect after 10 seconds has pass on a page. for example after resetting your password, I would like to redirect to the login page but only once its been 10 second to allow the user to see the message display on the page.

• php
• javascript
• http-redirect
• yii

• 1 Simple JavaScript works just fine: window.location.href = 'new url';. You can embed it in your page with Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript(...). – Cᴏʀʏ Commented Jul 15, 2013 at 15:39

You can call Yii::app()->clientScript->registerMetaTag() to register such a meta tag for the redirect:

Yii::app()->clientScript->registerMetaTag("10;url={$returnUri}", null, 'refresh');

This will generate:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=/foo/index.php?r=site/catalog"/>

which will produce a redirect after waiting 10 seconds.

It's not necessary to use yii if you're making a simple redirect. You can simply use Javascript and do this:

window.location.href = 'http://yournewURLgoeshere.tld/foo/bar';

Hope this helps!

Yii doesn't have a refresh method, but what is wrong with:

if (!headers_sent()) {
    header('Refresh:10;url='. $this->createUrl('controller/action'));
}
