Ok, so I use SDL_Timer to do something after a certain period of time. How
could I set it up so that a timer runs only once and during that period of
running time, it has to do something specific. Like for instance I have an
image I want only to display for 5 seconds after the user hit the enter
key. How would I be able to do that? Is there a way to set the timer up to
only run once and a way to check to see if it is still running?

The easiest way to use timers is by using a flag (part of the data
you send the SDL_AddTimer() function, which it passes on to your callback)
or simply use an event.
See the example I added to the Wiki a few weeks ago:
