What is the best way to refresh the page in a PHP script?

Your only option from php is to use the meta refresh header which requests that the browser refreshes the page after a certain amount of time.

You can read more about it here: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/meta.html

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="2;URL=http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm">

If you do not specify a url it will refresh the current page ( i think)

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

I suppose you also could do a header: redirect to the same page to refresh - assuming you hadn't output anything to the page yet.
