How to redirect a Page Using Javascript in php

If you don't like using header() as I like to redirect page mid-page. This is implemented using
Javascript written through PHP function. Has a die() function at the end for people who has
disabled their Javascript in their browser.

<?php

function redirect($new_location){

echo ("<script type='text/javascript'>

document.location.replace('$new_location');

</script> ");

die();

}

?>
