I dont wanna write all the code here,I just took that part to let u see my function is after PHP code.I couldnt solve why it is not working properly.It executes the function as if I didnt write any settimeout function there and didnt set the miliseconds property to 10000...I had this problem several of times.But I didnt face the same problem when I wrote only javascript code in one page...

?> 

<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout(direct(),10000);
</script>

Or

setTimeout(direct,10000);

setTimeout wants a string to eval or a function reference to call. setTimeout(direct(), 10000) will just make setTimeout run the return value of the `direct` function every 10000 miliseconds - not likely something you want happening, unless direct returns a reference to a function (e.g creating a closure).
