Countdown then close

Hi people this is my first post and im quite new to PHP, what i am trying to do is create a coundown function for 7 days including minutes and seconds in a page then when it reaches 0 i want it to reset its self again but stop users viewing that page but redirect them , would this be possible.

Many Thanks Chris

 

Something like this should work.

$starttime = strtotime('October 29, 2010');
$currenttime = time();
$week = 60*60*24*7; // one week in seconds
if (($currenttime-$starttime)<$week) {
   // show your page
  ...
} else {
   header('Location: /otherpage.php');
}

PHP:
