[SOLVED] time limit question

[justAnoob]

I have a session that is displayed.... I only want it to display for 10 seconds... What should I do below?

<?php
if($count > 0)
{
$_SESSION['dup'] = "This username is already registered. Please try again.";
}
?>

<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['dup']))
{
   set_time_limit(10);                     //this doesn't work.. where to put it?
   echo '<div class="duppy">';
   echo $_SESSION['dup'];
   echo '</div>';
}
	?>

You can't really do this - php cannot make something disappear on the users computer (client side) without a page refresh. So the best you can do is refresh the page after 10 seconds:

 

header('refresh: 10; url=/page/to/load/after/10/seconds');
