Hi there.

I have this code

Code: Select all

 
<?php
 
// Take info from form
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
// The tweet
$message = $_POST['tweet'];
// The twitter API address
$url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
// Alternative JSON version
// $url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json';
// Set up and execute the curl process
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "$url");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "status=$message");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
// check for success or failure
if (empty($buffer)) {
    echo 'message';
} else {
    echo 'success' ;
}
?>
 
What i want is whether it fails or success is the page to go back to index.html after 6 secods. what needs to be added to the code, and where?

Well, I would do it at the end after everything else has completed or else it will break your script.
