How can JavaScript and <meta> redirection be utilized to address the issue of outputting text before redirection in PHP?

When using PHP to redirect a user to a new page, any text output before the redirection will cause an error. To address this issue, you can use JavaScript along with a <meta> tag to delay the redirection until after the text output is complete. By using JavaScript to set a timeout before redirecting, you can ensure that the text is displayed before the redirection occurs.

<?php
echo "This is some text that will be displayed before redirection.";

echo "<script>";
echo "setTimeout(function() {";
echo "window.location.href = 'newpage.php';";
echo "}, 3000);"; // Redirect after 3 seconds
echo "</script>";
?>
