How can a redirect be implemented using HTML meta tags in PHP?

To implement a redirect using HTML meta tags in PHP, you can output the meta tag within the HTML code of your PHP file. This meta tag will instruct the browser to automatically redirect to a specified URL after a certain amount of time. This is useful for redirecting users to a different page or URL without any user interaction. 

<?php
header("Refresh: 5; URL=https://www.example.com");
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=https://www.example.com">
</head>
<body>
    <p>Redirecting to <a href="https://www.example.com">https://www.example.com</a> in 5 seconds...</p>
</body>
</html>
