[RESOLVED] page won't refresh

lglben

I'm trying to use...

header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

...to refresh the page after deleting/editing an entry in the dbase but I always get this error :

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\links-work\lang-control.php:16)
 in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\links-work\lang-control.php on line 57

Are you sure you haven't already output something to the browser? Show your whole code please and it'll be easier to discover the issue.

I'm using it like this:

// check if language has been submitted or edited and insert/update to table
if (isset($_POST['langname'])) { 
$langname=$_POST['langname']; 
$langcode=$_POST['langcode'];
if (isset($_POST['langid'])) {
$langid=$_POST['langid']; 
}
include 'phpinc/submitlang.inc.php';
header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); exit();
}

The include outputs text to the browser. This excerpt comes in the middle of the page's code - ie., after displaying all entries in the table. I want to refresh the page so that that list of entries is updated with the newly added/edited entry.

While I'm at it, what I would really like is for the browser to pause for a few seconds before refreshing the page. Is there some function to cause the browser to delay before refreshing?

OK. I checked the php manual and I see header cannot be used after output to the browser. Guess I'll have to re-arrange things a bit. Thanks for your help.
