dude listen , why i am using meta_forward().
i have made my own page.php ( page.php?id=1&trans_no=3) which carries all information of id =1 ( from main.php ) as like parameter query string. i have my CRUD type area
as same like under manufacturing/search_work_orders.php? -- after editing any of your resp reference id you will be n page manufacturing/work_order_entry.php?trans_no=11 , now click update now its change to /manufacturing/work_order_entry.php?UpdatedID=11 where you see many Anchor link like option ( Enter a new work order , Select an existing work order ) which means you have to now CLICK on this reps links. which was very annoying for me for each records , hence i change hyperlink to metaforward function...
now all is working fine execpt that redirection second i:e echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='20; url=$forward_to?$params'>\n"; which i change from 0 to 20sec ,
as if some one want to see error or etc he can see at-least between 20 sec which i have set or may increase .. ( error or other message , as this is my own page hence after Clicking Update button i have set my own link, error message etc. )
hence it redirected between sec , and because of this some error if occurs is not seen.
