Refreshing from database

ddc

I have some php pages working on desktop computer okay.
When I use them to write data to a database table, and then go to a page that uses that data, I have to refresh the browser since it seems to use only the previous data.
This does not appear to happen when the same pages are used on the external server and through the public web site.

I have tried using a META REFRESH command in each page but can not get the page to refresh just once when the page is first loaded.

Can anyone assist with some code I can place in either the common page header include file or within each page?

Or is it just some setup parameter to do with mySQL that continues to use the computer cache each time?

Thanks in advance.

I've had this problem on my web server too. If you want to just refresh once, what i would do (just off the top of my head)

if (!$_GET['i']) {
<meta refresh. . . page.php?i=1>
}

Then when it refreshes, $i will have a value and it won't refresh again.

. . .just a quick thought. I don't know if there's a better solution; but this should work.

Many thanks. I will give it a try.
I have succeeded in getting some pages to refresh and work okay but can't work out what I did!
I have pu all the add/delete/update instructions on the same page as the form, which calls itself on submit.

if(!$_GET['i']) {
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content=';url=http://localhost/utilitiesSQL/cust_qlist.php?i=1'>";
}

If I use the above I can get the pages to update but how can I reset i to zero at the end of the page so that next time the page loads during the same session it will also refresh?

Also is it possible to get the refresh to happen without the screen "blinking" as the page attempts to load once then refresh?
