Hello


I need a script that will logout a user from his account after 10 minutes [let's say]. So it needs to redirect the user after those 10 minute to a logout.php page...


I made a small script in jQuery that sends [through] POST the current time and based on a time stored in a SESSION variable it shows to the user how much time he has, and after the time is "ended" the SESSION logout variable is set to 1, but I cannot refresh the page so that the settings take place


can anyone help me?

I tried with:

<php> --> header("Location: index.php");

it's not working because the headers were already sent

<JS> --> window.location = "index.php";

it's not working... [or I'm not using it where I should use it...]

In php, you need to place a header() call before anything is sent to the browser (ie: echo, print or whatever else).
Or you need to use the output buffering function http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php


As for javascript, depending of the layout of the page, you may need to do a

top.location="index.php"

This should be working anywhere you place it in the page.
