for html, put this code in between your <head> </head> tags:
----------
using php:
Refresh tells the page to refresh, content=10 means the content is shown for 10 seconds (which is actually quite a long time if you think about it) and url=... is the page the user is being redirected to.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=page.html">
----------
using php:
<?php echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"10\" URL=page.html\">"; ?>
Refresh tells the page to refresh, content=10 means the content is shown for 10 seconds (which is actually quite a long time if you think about it) and url=... is the page the user is being redirected to.

Actually, your php example still uses html. The proper php example is this:
p.s. Should you choose to use my example, make sure you know how to use headers first. Php.net has a full write up of how to use them, and it should be read before you ask any questions.
header('Refresh: 10;url=page.html');
But you should be warned that my specific example is deprecated and supposedly not supported by HTTP/1.1. It has worked on everything i've tested it on though.p.s.
