Refresh or Reload page

Hi,

My question is how do i reload a php page after a job has been done.

Fore example my script does :

work 1

work 2

and after work 2 is finished i would like to reload the same xy.php page.

Can it be done ?


Cheers and Thanks!

Hello

here is a simple way:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
if ($_GET['job'] != 'done') {
    // work 1
    // work 2
    header('Location: xy.php?job=done');
    exit();
} else {
    // do another thing
}
?>

---

regards :)

thank you very much!

i will try the code now ... :)

EDIT:

this is what i have :

echo "<textarea rows=20 cols=40>" . $messageToShow."</textarea>";
die("Elaborated.");

$stop++;
header('Location: cronindex.php?');
exit();


But this seems not to work...maybe i did something wrong?

hello

- In my example, to know that we have done work1 and work2, I have passed a variable (job) with the value (done), in the URL.

- when you reload the page, all variable will be (cleaned from memory), you have to pass them via URL, store them in a session or database or any other way to work with them later

Is there a way to just reload the page ...

I have read that header function will not work is a text has been echoed before ....

Im really having trouble making this work .... :(

Hello

so, instead of using header, try meta refresh like this

PHP Code:

---

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=xy.php?job=done" />'; 


---

but it may be disabled, so try another way using javascript:

PHP Code:

---

echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.location="xy.php?job=done"</script>';
