How can JavaScript be used in conjunction with PHP to achieve a specific timing behavior, such as delaying a redirect after displaying a thank you message?

To achieve a specific timing behavior like delaying a redirect after displaying a thank you message, you can use JavaScript in conjunction with PHP. After displaying the thank you message in PHP, you can use JavaScript's setTimeout function to delay the redirect to another page. This way, the user has enough time to read the message before being redirected.

<?php
// Display thank you message
echo "Thank you for your submission!";

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