There is a large section marked "User HTTP redirects instead" which
ends with "See the links below for documentation and tutorials on how
to do it with your web server."

Yes. An example is on that page with a yellow background ... it is
what you shouldn't do. Markup is the wrong place for redirects.

No.

The PHP header function outputs an HTTP header ... which is what the
article says you should do. The last link in the list marked "How to
do redirects with your server" links to the documentation for that
function.
