What are some alternative methods to achieve automatic redirections in PHP if the meta refresh tag is not suitable?

If the meta refresh tag is not suitable for automatic redirection in PHP, an alternative method is to use the header() function to send a raw HTTP header for redirection. This method is more reliable and efficient than the meta refresh tag. 

<?php
// Redirect to a different page after 5 seconds
header("refresh:5;url=destination.php");
exit;
?>
