What are common pitfalls when trying to delay a redirect in PHP using JavaScript?

When trying to delay a redirect in PHP using JavaScript, a common pitfall is not properly implementing the delay function in JavaScript. To solve this issue, you can use the setTimeout function in JavaScript to delay the redirect after a certain amount of time. 

<?php
echo '<script>';
echo 'setTimeout(function() {';
echo 'window.location.href = "new_page.php";';
echo '}, 3000);'; // Delay redirect for 3 seconds
echo '</script>';
?>
