What are some alternative methods to achieve page redirection in PHP without using meta refresh?

When a page redirection is needed in PHP, using meta refresh is not the ideal method as it can affect SEO and user experience. An alternative method is to use the header() function to send a raw HTTP header to perform the redirection. This method is more efficient and does not rely on client-side processing. 

<?php
// Redirect to a new page
header("Location: https://www.example.com/newpage.php");
exit();
?>
