newb - redirecting script

Good day everyone,

I'm new in php (just a few weeks ago), I have a question. I'm curious on how to do the redirecting page. Say I want my logout to automatically redirect into index in 3 seconds. Here is my logout code. Can someone guide me.

<?php

session_start();
unset($_SESSION['id']);
unset($_SESSION['username']);
unset($_SESSION['password']);

session_destroy();

$display = "<center>" . "<br /><br /><br /><br/><br /><br /><br /><br/><br /><br />" . "<div id=\"stylized\" class=\"myform\"><br/><br /><br /><h1>You have successfully logout</h1>" . "<p></p>" . "<a href=\"index.php\"><img src=\"images/back.png\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\" /></center></a></div>" . "</center>";

?>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="confirmation_style.css"  />
</head>
<body>

<?php echo $display;?>

</body>
</html>

meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=/index.php"

or use javascript settimeout();

Yeah, the redirect can't be done with PHP. PHP is server-side, and once you've got the page displayed, it's all client-side, so you have to use a client-side technology to deal with it.
