Question

I have a php file that almost work properly. But then it wouldn’t refresh the page everytime the admin clicks the approve/notapprove link. so here’s the thing:

when an IT upload a file to the page, the file could be seen by the admin(who checks the uploaded file and decides whether the uploaded file is accepted or not). here’s the thing, the admin is given a new table column for the approve and not approve, when the admin clicks on the approve link, the database is updated and same goes with the NotApprove link. the only difference between the two is the content (Approve, the other NotApprove). all codes works properly except for one thing,when you click on the link once, it wont reload,although it is updated on the first click.

is there a way to fix these? or is there anyway to refresh the page without causing problem to the update/delete links? i have tried the onclick = “opener.location.reload()” locaed inside my links. the page reloads when you click on the link but the data does not update.

thank you for those who help 🙂

NOTE** case solved but thanks for the help 🙂

Your problem might have something to do with the page not being refreshed and the browser showing a cached version. Try adding some headers:

<meta name="pragma" content="no-cache" />

or add an expire date in the past:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">
