You need to learn where PHP starts and stops in the page request pricess — John Conde, Oct 16 '13 at 15:14
[take a look at this page](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3253223/redirect-in-php?rq=1)... I think it might be the same question. I would personally use jquery for this, though, [like this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7276677/jquery-redirect-to-url-after-specified-time) or [this with an "abort" option](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3234017/jquery-redirect-on-click-or-after-10-seconds/3234034#3234034) — gloomy.penguin, Oct 16 '13 at 15:14
PHP is an server side scripting language it can not do what you desire here. — , Oct 16 '13 at 15:55

try this in your head:

<script type="text/javascript">
var redirect = setTimeout(function() {
    window.location = "http://stackoverflow.com";
}, 5000);

document.onclick = function() {
    clearTimeout(redirect);
}
</script>

So you want the 5 second timer to restart after each click? – Pitchinnate Oct 16 '13 at 15:29
Yes... ever click restart the time – Ricardo Oct 16 '13 at 15:31
Why do you want that behavior? – kelunik Oct 16 '13 at 15:47
To use in multimedia kiosk – Ricardo Oct 16 '13 at 15:54
Yes, but why would a user click to delay a redirect? – kelunik Oct 16 '13 at 15:57

In PHP it's not possible. You can add timeout in JS and stop it when user click somewhere (onclick event on body).

After that timeout (without clicks), yuo can redirect user by setting document.location.href to your homepage.

Short: No.

Longer: This is not possible with PHP, because PHP is precompiled on the server. So as soon as the user sees the page on his browser, the PHP script already ran through. You will have to use something else instead, for example JavaScript.

Can do in other language? – Ricardo Oct 16 '13 at 15:32
There are several ways to implement a redirection (meta command as you used above, .htaccess, PHP etc.). But if you want to count the seconds you won't be able to avoid JavaScript. – Gottlieb Notschnabel Oct 16 '13 at 15:38
