PHP refresh window? equivalent to F5 page reload?

Question

Is there anything in PHP that is the equivalent of manually pressing the F5 page reload button? My php script is in a frame and isn\'t the parent script but it needs to ref

Answer 1

Use JavaScript for this. You can do:

echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
   parent.window.location.reload(true);
</script>
';

In PHP and it will refresh the parent's frame page.

Answer 2

Actually it is possible:

Header('Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
Exit(); //optional

And it will reload the same page.

Answer 3

<?php 
echo "<script>window.opener.location.reload();</script>";
echo "<script>window.close();</script>";
?>

Answer 4

With PHP you just can handle server-side stuff. What you can do is print this in your iframe:

parent.window.location.reload();
