Reload Page Once

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 16.2007

Is there a way to reload / refresh a page when it loads? I am dealing with session variables and I am having trouble getting them back from the host unless I refresh the page. I have tried

<META HTTP-EQUIV=”refresh” CONTENT=”1; URL=http://www.website.com/page.php“>

but that is a continuous loop. I just want to have the page refresh once only on body load.

@ricpApr 16.2007 — Right, I am going to ask first off, "why do you need to reload the page only once?"

The reason I ask is not because it can't be done, it can and easily, but everytime someone has asked me to provide a solution to this, the reason they need it is a piece of bad logic and there was a more sensible solution than it needing a specifically numbered reload.

@aymelekauthorDec 17.2007 — It has been a while since I've been here, and am running into this problem again. The reason for the page refresh is because I have multiple php scripts on different pages that will grab data from a mysql database. The information then gets cached and when the user goes to the next page, the information does not change unless the user hits the refresh button. I want to automatically refresh the page only once so the data will be fresh every time they go to the page.

I am only having this problem in IE, it works just fine in FireFox. I have tried putting the

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">

tags in the page, but that does not work either. Any ideas?

Success!
