Okay, I think I finally see what the problem is.

The complete syntax for a <meta> direct is this:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/meta#attr-http-equiv

In the "refresh" bit we can read:

«This pragma specifies:

- the number of seconds until the page should be reloaded, if the 
content attribute contains only a positive integer number;

- the number of seconds until the page should be redirected to another, 
if the content attribute contains a positive integer number followed by 
the string ';url=' and a valid URL.»

I guess you are using the first feature ("reload") and I thought you 
were using the second one ("redirect"). Just tweak your PHP code to 
generate a <meta> tag with the ";url=" part.
