trying to refresh browser

I am trying to refresh a web page after making some changes. 

header("refresh: 3");

This line seems to have no affect. But when I press the refresh icon in the browser it works perfectly. Why?

@richb201,

How are you updating the page? PHP or Javascript?

PHP I think. I am using Grocery Crud.

@richb201,

Have you tried reaching out to the Grocery CRUD community?

If your request is PHP then, when the process is success you can redirect to the same page :

PHP Code:

$result = $this->UserModel->save($data);
if($result){
return redirect()->to($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
} 


If it is an ajax request:

Code:

window.setTimeout(function(){location.reload()},1500)

PHP Code:

$url=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header("Refresh: 10; URL=$url"); 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Thanks. I have lots of custom data in session variables. Is this an issue? With the ajax version can I place that in the middle of my php code?
