Does anyone know why when I write this code to delete a record in a database, the browser fall into a endless loop :

<? } elseif (isset($_GET['delete'])) { $id = htmlspecialchars($_GET['delete']); $creature->Delete_Forest_Creature($id); echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='0' URL='creature.php'>"; ?>

But using the META tag in the same context, but for UPDATING or INSERTING into a MySQL database will work perfectly?

<? } elseif (isset($_POST['new_creature_submit'])) { $creature->New_Forest_Creature($allmyvar); echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='0' URL='guardtools.php'>"; ?>

(I've also tried without the class, using directly the UPDATE, DELETE and INSERT command and got the same result..)

And maybe someone has a better way to force a screen refresh? (Whitout user intervention)

try to force the reload passing to it a random new parameter

<? echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='0' URL='creature.php?random=".$your_random_number."'>"; ?>

this will reload the page with new $_GET values (in this case only a random parameter useless for the script)

after looking at the tag specifics, I've noticed that it doesn't support the URL attribute, but it is part of the CONTENT value

try this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://creature.php/">

as you can see url is a part of the Content attribute, if you specify only the seconds to wait before reload the current page will be reloaded as is, so maybe your page was reloaded with the same $_GET parameters every time

hope this helps

I just found time to test it, and this was indeed the problem, since the syntax was wrong, it was resending the same $_GET information, falling into a endless loop.

Thank you!
