How is PHP used to refresh to a new page every 10 seconds? I'm guessing it is not actually being used.

You probably want to seek guidance in the JS forum.

Since PHP has no control over the pages once they are loaded and as such would not have any control on how often they refresh, this would probably be best answered in the JS forum which can affect the refresh.

How exactly are you establishing the page refresh? Are you outputting a meta tag? A Javascript function?

lol - I read your post several times before I replied - I cannot imagine the scenario where you have various pages up on the screen at once since your browser can only render one view port at a time ...

Not truly understanding what you're looking for, I would venture suggest that you:
1. set a variable in javascript and set to a value ON or OFF
2. write code to track mouse movement (

https://api.jquery.com/mousemove/)

3. if mouse move, change set variable to ON or OFF
4. whatever means you are using to launch the page refresh, change it so that it checks the value of set variable and if ON or OFF, decide what to do
