There are several methods, but my favorite is to use a Location header
which also changes the response status code. This method is transparent to
the history mechanism, so users can still click the Back button.

header('Location: http://example.org/');

Another method is to use the Refresh header, which also allows you to set
a timer for the redirect. One disadvantage is that it can prevent a user
from using the Back button.

header('Refresh: 0; url=http://example.org/');

There are also client-side methods of redirecting the user, but this is a
PHP list. :-)

Hope that helps.
