You have to do this with JavaScript.

Look at http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp to learn about timers. When the timer expires, you then would change the location of the current page to the next page.

There is also refresh where content is the time in seconds

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120;url=http://path/to/new/page/"> 
 

Or you can use php and headers

$refreshtime = 600; #10 minutes
$header = 'refresh: '.$refreshtime.'; url=http://path/to/new/page.php';
header($header);

But to display a continual timer you would still need javascript/ajax
