Here is a short example, not sure if it helps ...

<?php
  $timer = "5000"; // work w/ timestamp from db, etc.
 ?>

 <body onload="setTimeout('foo()', '<?= $timer ?>')">

  <script language="javascript">
   function foo() {
    document.myform.submit();
   }
  </script>

  <form name="myform" method="post" action="test.php">
   <input type="hidden" name="foo" value="bar">
  </form>

 Foo: <?= $_POST['foo']; ?>

 </body>
