Can PHP files be automatically executed to perform certain actions and then redirect to another HTML file without user interaction?

Yes, PHP files can be automatically executed to perform certain actions and then redirect to another HTML file without user interaction. This can be achieved by using PHP's header function to send a raw HTTP header to perform the redirection.

<?php
// Perform certain actions here

// Redirect to another HTML file
header("Location: anotherPage.html");
exit;
?>
