Page reload after record update problem

[James0816]

Guess I'm really stepping out of my programming bounds today folks.

I have my form with my text boxes. I make my changes and click on the submit button to update the recordset. Now....here's the catch.....

I am entering the page from another page with two variables set

edit.php?var1=test&var2=test1

so....after my update and the page refreshes, I still want the page to load with the same values to get the same record.

I have tried various combinations of the following. The page never reloads except that it just redisplays the data prior to the change. If I leave the page and go back in, then it has the updated data. Here's what I have tried:

<form action="edit.php?var1=<?php echo $tst ?>&var2=<?php echo $tst1 ?>"

also

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>?var1=<?php echo $tst ?>&var2=<?php echo $tst1 ?>"

even redirected to a newpage all together and then tried to come back....nothing.

any thoughts? did i confuse everyone?

maybe use somthing like this

<script language="JavaScript">

//Refresh page script- By Brett Taylor ([e-mail])
//Modified by Dynamic Drive for NS4, NS6+
//Visit [url]http://www.dynamicdrive.com[/url] for this script

//configure refresh interval (in seconds)
var countDownInterval=2;
//configure width of displayed text, in px (applicable only in NS4)
var c_reloadwidth=200;

</script>
<ilayer id="c_reload" width=&{c_reloadwidth}; ><layer id="c_reload2" width=&{c_reloadwidth}; left=0 top=0></layer></ilayer>
<script>

var countDownTime=countDownInterval+1;
	function countDown(){
		countDownTime--;
			if (countDownTime <=0){
				countDownTime=countDownInterval;
				clearTimeout(counter);
				location.replace("edit.php?var1=<? echo $_REQUEST["var1"]; ?>&var2=<? echo $_REQUEST["var2"]; ?>");
				return
			}

		if (document.all) //if IE 4+
			document.all.countDownText.innerText = countDownTime+" ";
		else if (document.getElementById) //else if NS6+
			document.getElementById("countDownText").innerHTML=countDownTime+" ";
		else if (document.layers){ //CHANGE TEXT BELOW TO YOUR OWN
			document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.write('<b id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </b> seconds');
			document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.close();
		}
			counter=setTimeout("countDown()", 1000);
		}

function startit(){
	if (document.all||document.getElementById) //CHANGE TEXT BELOW TO YOUR OWN
		document.write('<b id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </b> seconds');
		countDown();
	}

	if (document.all||document.getElementById)
		startit();
	else
		window.onload=startit;

</script>

obvious question: is the code that processes the form data and updates the db before or after the code the pulls the data out from the db? if it is after then obviously you will still see the old data instead of newly updated data.
