Just a quick question regarding this issue. Considering bruce wants to be able to display the data and then change location after a given time, and as stut said you can't do this with a header() as it redirects before output, I would have imagined a dynamic meta tag in the header with a time variable and a location variable. But then I wonder what affect this has regards to html standards? Are dynamic meta tags depreciated?
