A little help...

dspeer

I need to refresh a page. I have a piece of code that is included into a few different pages. I want it to refresh itself with a new variable when I post them. I know there is a way... How do I grab the page name or can I just force a reload?

If you can be a little more specific as to what you are trying to do, I probably can give a better answer.

I need to refresh a page. -- That should be simple enough, this can be done with Java Script or by using the HEADER function in PHP.

I want it to refresh itself with a new variable when I post them. -- are you posting a form? or chaning a value on a page?

Thanks

Isn't there a SELF variable within PHP that I can use? I want to use this if possible so I can just use includes rather than modifying a lot of code. I am posting a form, by the way.
Here's what I am doing. I have Journal events that my employees enter into the database via form. They can view these events, but I would like to have them able to be sorted in a variety of ways and through multiple pages (by that, I mean I want to write the viewJournal.php code once and have it be portable through other areas. Right now it is part of an include.). When they select a different sort, I would like the page to regenerate itself with their variable (through post or get) be passed.
I don't think this is difficult. I just want to know if there is a SELF variable within PHP that can tell me what page I am using. This would solve my problem.

There is are several global variables that can help. Try doing a phpinfo() this function will show you all the currnt GLOBAL variables, and what is stored in each. You can then do a search CTRL+F and search for the name of the page you are looking for.

Sorry, but I am not posative there is a SELF variable.

I have several pages that do what you are attempting, so I know it can be done.

Hope this helps..
