Is there a command, or a way, to transfer to a different page using php. I
currently am inserting JavaScript with a window.Open.

You can redirect with
header("Locatio n: http://www.domain.com/path/to/filename.html")
but you can only do this if you don't intend to output anything from the
script (and if you do the browser will redirect anyway and not render the
stuff you send to it).
If you want to go to a different page *after* the page has been rendered by
the browser then you can only do it using javascript, if the user clicks a
link or using the meta http-refresh tag eg
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url= http://www.domain.com/">
The number before the page to redirect to (3 in this example) is the number
of seconds to wait before refreshing.

Define "transfer to a different page".
Has the current page been displayed yet? If so, then create a link,
which the user must click on to go to the next page. I don't know if
this can be done non-interactively once the page has been displayed.
Perhaps a Javascript with a timer handler might work.
There's a "<META>" refresh tag in HTML which sends a refresh header. But
it only works if the headers haven't already been sent to the browser.
That's no a PHP issue. It's also not reliable for multiple browsers.
Some browsers ignore it. Google for discussions that happen regularly
on this issue (seems like it's once a week).

Isn't it the other way round? I always thought that:
echo "wibble";
header("Locatio n: http://www.domain.com/path/to/filename.html")
Would display wibble and ignore the redirect?
