Not sure exactly what you are asking, but in PHP redirection can be done as follows:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
header("Location:http://www.somesite.com");
?>
<?php
header("Location:http://www.somesite.com");
?>

and Meta:

Help with Code Tags

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://www.somesite.com">

this goes in the <head> tag

AJAX is not a programming language, scripting language or any other sort of language.
It is acheived by using JavaScript http functions.
So, AJAX = JavaScript.

You can either echo the HTML tags echo "<some_tag>html</some_tag>"; If you do this the remember to escape your quotes with \s

Or another way:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
// Some PHP code
?>
some HTML code
<?php
// Some more PHP code
?>
<?php
// Some PHP code
?>
some HTML code
<?php
// Some more PHP code
?>

Very true. You can't send header information (thats where you're redirecting) after outputting anything. All you could do is put your meta tags after the redirection code. That would be useless though, because your program will never get to this point.
