Question

I use wordpress and unfortunately, I have to work behind the backend. I need to print message about user action while the CMS header has been sent.

Is there any alternative than using javascript? I prefer a PHP solution.

echo '<script type="text/javascript">/* <![CDATA[ */'; 
echo 'window.location.href = "'. $redirect_url . '";'; 
echo '/* ]]> */</script>';

You can pass the message by using query string:

header('location: index.php?msg=1');exit;

And use swich to show the message based on value of msg query string var:

switch($_GET['msg'])
{
   case: 1; // do foo
   case: 2; // do bar
   case else : ; // ooops
}
