can't get page to refresh

I'm having trouble getting my script to refresh the page.  If the username, password match it falls into this if statement. Sometimes it works and other times and won't refresh the page automatically. 

 

I'm trying to use this line to refresh the page

echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='=2;index.php' />";

 

Here is the if statement

if(mysql_num_rows($checklogin) == 1)
    {
        // store the row returned from query
    	$row = mysql_fetch_array($checklogin);
        // get email address from row returned
        $email = $row['EmailAddress'];
        // store user variables in session array
        $_SESSION['Username'] = $username;
        $_SESSION['EmailAddress'] = $email;
        $_SESSION['LoggedIn'] = 1; // boolean
        
    	echo "<h1>Success</h1>";
        echo "<p>We are now redirecting you to the member area.</p>";
        echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='=2;index.php' />";
    }

 

here is the entire index.php file

 

<?php include "base.php";?> <!-- base.php contains session_start() -->
