.php / Linux / MySQL / C /Netscape 4.79 - Automatic Browser Refresh

I have data processing that takes place via an application written in
C. I also have a .php webpage that displays a chart of the results via
the Netscape 4.79 browser. Currently, manual intervention is required
to refresh the web page and show the process results. I need to fully
automate this process.

In a nutshell, the browser window needs to be automatically refreshed
as soon as my application completes its processing. In other words,
the application gets a new last step, the web-page refresh.

I suspect that this might be a call to a Netscape function, but it
might be possible with .php as well. Thoughts?

Not possible using only PHP (well, at least not when the UA & the HTTP
server aren't on the same box). A kludgy meta refresh (nor recommended) or
javascript would be needed. You'd poll for the 'last step done' to the
server, and if it gets a 'true' the whole page will be refreshed.

Does the C application get triggered by the web interface? Such as,
the user wants to do the processing and initiates it though a form
button or something of the sort? If so, perhaps you could use PHP to
initiate the data processing, tell the C application to run through
CLI, and return the results in one fell swoop?

I can't seem to prevent the refresh associated with F5 in Netscape. I can capture the key but returning false does not prevent the refresh. The code is as follows: function keyDown(e) { if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') { if(e.which == 116) { alert('This action is prohibited'); e.cancelBubble = true;
