You need to create a php script for each page to redirect, and you will most
likely have to tweak with .htaccess (requires the web server uses apache) to
make parse html files as php file.

Usually a php file is called something like hello.php, but with use of
..htaccess in the directory where you intend to place the php scripts, you
could make it work even if the file was called hello.html.


With your experience it may be better to use the meta tag, it will work in
most cases.
