How can JavaScript and <meta> tags be used as alternatives to the header() function in PHP redirection?

When the PHP header() function cannot be used for redirection due to output already being sent to the browser, JavaScript and <meta> tags can be used as alternatives. By using JavaScript, you can redirect the user to a new page using window.location.href. Alternatively, you can use <meta> tags in the HTML <head> section to automatically redirect the user after a specified amount of time. 

// PHP code to redirect using JavaScript
echo &#039;&lt;script&gt;window.location.href = &quot;newpage.php&quot;;&lt;/script&gt;&#039;;
