You're doing it wrong. Example of how to do it and some more info about the header.

<?php
session_start ();
if (isset($_SESSION['user'])
{
    header ('Refresh: 3; url=index.php');
    //                      ^
}
?>

You used : it should be an equal sign.

This should work:

<?php
    session_start();
    if (isset($_SESSION['user'])){
        header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/');
        die();
    }
?>

If you want to redirect the user after x senconds, then use

    <?php
        session_start();
        if (isset($_SESSION['user'])){
            header( "refresh:3;url=whatever.php" ); 
        }
    ?>
