Please note, there is an *enormous* difference between Java and
Javascript! They are not related in any way. You are talking about
Javascript.

If you use:
header("Location: http://example.com/blurgh.htm");
before *any* other script output, then this will redirect the user's
browser. Note that the URL *must* be absolute, i.e. you cannot simply
use something like /blurgh.htm.

Yup.

Yup. Also make sure that there are no characters (including whitespace)
before the opening <?php delimiter.
