Re: Delaying Printed Output

Speaking off the top of my head, seems like a combination of html meta refresh and a variable that increments based on HTTP REFERRER=PHP_SELF could provide the effect you're looking for. Certainly you could meta refresh to new pages in sequence. Or of course just use an animated gif if static text. Have you looked into javascript/java? I doubt that you can do it solely within php as it parses once and delivers html. The connection betwixt the server and client is transaction and the client would have to initiate the call to update, unless the update was imbedded within and staged at the client.
