Answer 1

Do not use $this->header in controller as it will be removed in 3.0. Use CakeResponse::header().

here is working example for cakephp 2.8

Controller:

$url = array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'index');
        $second = '5';
        if (!$sessionData) {
            return $this->redirect($url);
        }
        $this->Session->delete($bookingStr);
        $this->response->header("refresh:$second; url='" . Router::url($url) . "'");
        $this->set(compact('url', 'second'));

View:

    Html->link( "You are being redirected to ".Router::url($url, TRUE)." in ".$second." seconds. If you do not wish to wait click here.", $url ); ?>
