What, a web page? Use a JavaScript function for refreshing the page. I think it was document.reload() or something. Check it out on the web.

You can also use document.location and point to the originating page, or use a <meta> refresh.

Hi

If your running PHP5 you can use the following:


function pageRefreshed() {
return $_SERVER['HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL'] == 'max-age=0' ? true : false;
}


if ( !pageRefreshed () ) {

// -- insert your sql into database

}

...
...
// -- Display your data ...
...


The functions calls an apache param to check if this page has been refreshed. I use this in my applications where resubmitting a form can cause problems.

To do a redirect I use the following:


?>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<?php echo "parent.location='SummaryPage.php?item_id=$item_id'"; ?>
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<?php


The above redirects to a page that displays the details for one form ( $item_id is record id). You could also do something like this instead if you don't need to pass any params:


?>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
parent.location='Page.php'
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<?php


Hope this helps
