Is there a header command that just refreshes the current page rather than using an absolute URI?

Reason being, there is a script, that could be executed on any page, and whichever page it is should be refreshed rather than redirecting back to a specific page.

TIA

might be a...stupidy answer but how about the META refresh tag?

Meta tags display in the head of the page ... I'm after a function which refreshes the current page after a script has been run so the meta refresh tag wouldn't work, thanks for the idea though.

Strangly enough Waleed, the meta refresh tag works a treat Good thinking on that one. The script is working fine now.

lol. just goes to show you, never underestimate a fool!

If you wanted to do it in PHP Joe you could use a header: location and set the target to $PHP_SELF and providing the server is set up right it'll work.

I was looking for a PHP solution, I didn't realise php_self would work. I'll give that a shot, thanks.

Si,

I've just tried it, but I think I'm doing it wrong. How would the syntax work?

Great! Thanks Willy, I had to make a slight change though, I needed to remove the www. from the beginning.



Works fine now, cheers

I'm surprised to learn that the site does not properly resolve when using www.

BTW: You do realize that there is a header refresh which would allow you to define the number of seconds before refreshing???

Nope, I never knew that. Although I did want an instant refresh so I wouldn't need it for this particular script.

For curiosity though, how would you go about setting a time before refresh?

Something like this should work:
