Right off the top of my head, you have three options that I can see:
(1) Rewrite the code to avoid any output before the redirect.
(2) Use output buffering (available only in PHP4). I haven't used
this, but check out
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php
(3) Use a META REFRESH tag. For example:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1;page.php">
where 1 is the time (in seconds) before you want the redirect, and
'page.php' is where you want the redirect to. Of course, this tag
needs to be in the <HEAD> section, so it might not help you much.
As far as I know, though, cold fusion's <cflocation> tag only works
because CF does output buffering implicitly. So, I'd guess you need
to do option (2).
