Are there alternative methods to achieve tracking and redirection in PHP without using header redirection?

When using PHP, header redirection is a common method to track and redirect users to different pages. However, if you want to achieve tracking and redirection without using header redirection, you can consider using JavaScript to redirect users or storing the redirection information in a session variable and then using PHP to redirect based on that information. 

<?php
// Start the session
session_start();

// Set the redirection URL in a session variable
$_SESSION['redirect_url'] = 'new_page.php';

// Redirect using PHP based on the stored URL
if(isset($_SESSION['redirect_url'])){
    $redirect_url = $_SESSION['redirect_url'];
    unset($_SESSION['redirect_url']);
    echo "<script>window.location.replace('$redirect_url');</script>";
}
?>
