Question

Let’s say the user submits feedback, and I want to redirect them to another location afterwards. Is it okay to do the following?

header("Refresh: 4; url=$location");
header("Connection: close");

echo
    "
    Feedback successfully submitted.

    <hr />
    ";

Is there any other way of displaying information before redirecting? Should I use <meta http-equiv="refresh"… in this case?

I guess you mean something like this

In my opinion you got it right, just use

<p>Thank you for submitting. If you're not redirected in 5 seconds, click <a href="redirect.php">here</a> </p>

<?php header( "refresh:5;url=redirect.php");  ?>
