Mimicking META Refresh Tag with PHP question

[master_rickster]

I have a web site that uses a page which reloads itself using the META tag. Each time it reloads it sends some data.

The meta tag looks like this:
META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2" URL=itself.php...

The problem:
If the page is accidentally closed, processing stops.

The question:
How can I replace this kind of timer with a php function?

Thanks

You want to do something every 2 seconds forever?

PHP is not really designed for this kind of activity, I don't think.

Can you tell us what action you are wanting to do?
