How to redirect a page after few minutes?

I want to redirect a page after 10 minutes and clear the session values. I achieved this using the code.Any page in my website will get redirect after 10 minutes 

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="600;URL=logout.php?timeout">

In my logout.php page I have the code for clearing session values and redirect to index.php page.But now I get only redirect to index.php page and session value is not destroy.

       <?php
       session_start();
       // remove all session variables
       session_unset(); 

       // destroy the session 
       session_destroy(); 
       echo ("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
       window.location.href='index.php';
       </SCRIPT>"); 
    ?>

Your code seems correct and it should work. You can add the line

$_SESSION = array();

somewhere between session_start() and session_destroy() just to be sure the session variables are wiped. It shouldn't be needed, this is what session_destroy() is supposed to do.

If it still doesn't work then use print_r($_SESSION) to be sure the session is properly set in logout.php.

You can try this by using refresh header the in php like

<?php
     /*in this refresh is in second you can define it as your requirement*/
     $sec=6000;
     header( "Refresh:$sec; url=http://www.example.com/page2.php", true, 303);
?>
