use the header function.

header ('Location: index.php') ;

Yep header() is the best way.

I you want the delay of 3 seconds, the only clean way to do it is using JavaScript.

The code would look something like this

window.onload = function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
         window.location = 'http://google.com/';
    }, 3000);
}

Excuse the use of window.onload
