Help w/ Refresh

stockwet

I think what I'm trying to do is fairly simple, but I'm running into problems.

I'm creating a table full of values from a mysql database. Next to each record, I have and "edit" and a "delete" href link. I can very easily reference the delete.php file I'm using to delete the target record successfully. But what I want to happen is to 1) delete the record and then 2) return to the original page and re-run the query to re-populate the table. Most "delete" examples only show you how to print something like "delete was successful." I don't want that. Just re-load the files. I also don't want the user to stay at the delete.php file.

Steps:
start.php -> press delete link for record #3 -> PHP code executed to delete record #3 -> reload start.php with updated record set.

Don't make a seperate file to do the dirty work... Have one page like this:

if($id) {
mysql_query("DELETE from table WHERE id='$id',$db);
}

while($get=mysql_fetch_array($result) {
printf("<A HREF='$PHP_SELF?id=%s">%s %s %s\n",$get["id"],$get["col1"],$get["col2"]);

you may simply use:
<head><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL=start.php?time=<?=time()?>">

that will force the browser to reload all the contents
