[Resolved] Refreshing a page

[terrym]

I have a simple PHP page which displays a list from a MySQL table. The list has a checkbox on each row which the user can tick. When the user presses the Delete (Form) button, any rows selected by a tick are deleted from the table. When this button is pressed, the form calls this page again (Action) and the records are deleted.
The page in question is basically like this:

Start
Open database etc
Select rows and put into array
Delete marked rows if second time round
Display the array in a table
Button (goes back to start

All this works just fine. The only problem is that you have to manually Refresh the page to see that the rows have been deleted.
Is there a way to have the program refresh the page automatically?
Thanks in advance
Terry

You can use a meta tag

<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"x; URL=http://www.yourpage.com\">

x = seconds

Why not alter your algorithm:

Start
Open database etc
Delete marked rows if second time round
Select rows and put into array
Display the array in a table
Button (goes back to start

Thanks bengt!
The Meta Tag works fine.

Um, I would advise against using the meta tag solution if you can come up with a better algorithm, which I believe shouldnt be too difficult to implement.

Have you considered that meta tag refreshes can be disabled in a given browser?

OK laserlight. I'll have a better look at rearranging the page and see what happens.
Thanks
