refreshing

[incarnate]

is there a way to refresh a page once in php?

If you haven't got anything, no spaces or new lines etc., before <?php, then you can use the header() function.

header( "Location: page.php" );

But that would cause the page to keep refreshing its self. If you wanted to do it just once then youll need some sort of latch ie

<!---Page.php--!>

if ($HTTP_GET_VARS["latch"] == 0) {
header("Location: page.php?latch=1");
}

Call page.php with page.php?latch=0 first and the page will refresh.

Hope this helps

Well, I know that but I was just referring him to the header() function.
