back() and reload() at the same time?

[Kim Therkelsen]

Hi!

By pressing a button I am directed from one page to another. At the second
page some things displayed on the first page are changed and now I want to
go back to the first page again. The pages are written in php.

If I use javascript:hist ory.back() I get back to the first page but I have
to manually reload it to see the changes I have made.

The solution could be:
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh \"
content=\"0;url =firstpage.php? op=view&id=$id& ...&...&....\"> ";
But I have to do a lot of work to get all the options (e.g. op=view&...).

Is there anyway I can use javascript to go back to the first page and force
it to reload, so that I don't have to reload it my self?

Or is there some way I can read out what is in javascript:hist ory.back() so
that I could place it in the above mentioned solution? It doesn't seem to
work if I just do the following:
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh \"
content=\"0;url =javascript:his tory.back()\">" ;

Sincerely
Kim Therkelsen, Denmark

Instead of using JavaScript, you could use a meta cache control header at
the top of firstpage.php.

You could also start firstpage.php with a parameter check, e.g. when the
parameter doesn't exist, throw in a 302 header to append this parameter:

<?
if (!isset($_GET['rnd'])) {
header("Locatio n: {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?rnd=".time()) ;
exit;
}
?>

maybe you could use
"window.navigat e(someURL)"
on the second page to navigate "back" to the first page?
