Redirect with header and javascript code

I created a redirect page in PHP that whenever some one visits that page, it will add a cookie in browser and redirect user to some other page: ex: google.com.

To do that, I have used javascript to redirect but problem is that when I extract my url it doesn't show google.com. During extraction it shows the same page's information then I use php header() for redirection and it shows me the google.com info.

Now I need help to make this code work with cookie and header.

Code:

<?php
header("location: https://www.google.com");
echo '<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Redirecting...</title>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function createCookie(name,value,days) {
            if (days) {
                var date = new Date();
                date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
                var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
            }
            else var expires = "";
            document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
        }
        createCookie("karachi","testing",100);
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>

    </body>
</html>';
?>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=exemple.com">

if you need add a message, you can simply set

<h1>Redirection en cours... Veuillez patienter.</h1>

Instead of setting it on JavaScript. Why not use PHP.

$date_of_expiry = time() + (86400 * 30); // 30 days
if(setcookie('karachi', 'testing', $date_of_expiry)) {
    sleep(3); // sleep 3 seconds
    header('Location: http://www.google.com/'); 
}

Or an alternative:

$date_of_expiry = time() + (86400 * 30); // 30 days
if(setcookie('karachi', 'testing', $date_of_expiry)) {
    echo '<h1>Redirecting.. Please wait.</h1>';
    echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=http://www.google.com">';
}

On Javascript:

echo '<h1>Redirecting.. Please wait.</h1>';
// echo 'logic javascript';
echo '
<script>
setTimeout(function(){
    window.location.href = "http://www.google.com"
}, 3000);
</script>
';

Give this a shot. I haven't test it, but it will give you the right idea to start with:

<?php ?>
       <script type="text/javascript">
        function createCookie(name,value,days) {
            if (days) {
                var date = new Date();
                date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
                var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
            }
            else var expires = "";
            document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
        }
        createCookie("karachi","testing",100);
        </script>
<?php
header("location: https://www.google.com");
?>

I opened and closed the php tag in the beginning because I am assuming this will be in a php file. You may also put your cookie code in a separate .html or .php file and use a include before your header.

include_once 'cookiecode.php';

The trick with headers is getting your task done before presenting any html that displays to the screen. I am pretty certain headers also have to be done before the open tag.

Hope this helps!
