    just link to the page you want to refresh with php_self.
    <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>">Refresh</a>
    Code (markup):

    You'd be better off using REQUEST_URI as that includes the request_uri of the document, PHP_SELF is the script name only.

    
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language="javascript">
function reloadPage( )
{
	document.location.href = '<?=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>';
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<input type="submit" name="refresh" value="Refresh" onclick="reloadPage();" />
<a href="javascript:reloadPage();">Refresh</a>
</body>
</html>
