Are there any potential pitfalls when using meta refresh in PHP scripts?

Using meta refresh in PHP scripts can cause potential pitfalls such as SEO issues, accessibility problems, and negative user experience due to the automatic redirection. To solve this, it is recommended to use PHP header() function to perform server-side redirects instead of relying on client-side meta refresh. 

<?php
// Perform server-side redirect using header() function
header("Location: new_page.php");
exit;
?>
