[SOLVED] Using PHP to redirect or refresh

[wargolchaos]

Is there any good way to refresh a page without using header:location?

Javascript. It sounds like what you want to do is client side, not server side.

You can use the header such as this, it'll be easier in the long run..

//  refresh / redirect to an internal web page
header( 'refresh: 5; url='.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] );
echo '<h1>You will be re-directed in 5 seconds...</h1>';

Of course the '5' may become a '0' in case you don't want it to wait. Use ob_start() at the beginning of your code if you wish to use this later on in a page.

Thanks, instead of making my code any more complex I just added a link that leads back to the same page. This way it refreshes.
