I need help with PHP since I'm not an expert in it.

So I have a form containing a table that goes to itself, and inside it there's a button that does some operation X.
What I want is, after the button's pushed, I want the page gets refreshed so the table content is updated.

What PHP code should I add near operation X?

I did google this, but all solutions I found were for auto-refreshing a page

Thanks.

Do you mean how to redirect with php?

Send a location header like this:

code:

---

header("Location: page.php");

Yeah, well... he has a button that does an operation, after that operation is finished just use the header to reload the page.

I tried both methods and came up with some conclusion:

code:

---

if( $_POST['ok_btn'] == '1' )
    header( 'refresh: 0; url=http://www.example.net' );

---

code:

---

if( $_POST['ok_btn'] == '1' )
    header("Location: page.php");

really refreshing isn't possible with php, try using javascript with xmlhttprequest for that, with the button first call the xmlhttprequest function to send the data to the server then edit the table with the new data received from the xmlhttprequest response data...

BTW: This doesn't even need a refresh

This JavaScript + XmlHttpRequest is better known as AJAX.

could you not just make a link that links back to the page?.. I suppose that wont properly refresh content in all cases. If it did work couldnt you just do it like This
If thats not what you mean, sorry, i misinterpreted the question.

Nah, it probably wouldn't lizard.boy, because of the cache (am I right ?)
