how do i do this?

window.location = '/next-page';

Plain JS...

It will be better if you can do this in the server side language itself. You will be validating the user credentials using a server side language and if that evaluates to success then you can redirect the page to a new one from there itself. No need to do this in javascript.

have some server side authentication in PHP and if that succeeds, use client side stuff (jquery or JS) to redirect

Try this:

window.location.replace("http://stackoverflow.com");
