Pb refreshing a PHP page on an Apache server

[Didier Courtaud]

I hope I post this problem to the right forum ; Apologies if not !

My problem is that I want to test with a PHP script on a Web server (
Apache ) whether the current displayed page inside the browser should be
redisplayed or not !

To do so, I take the signature of a given image on the server and store
it inside a cookie at the first visit.

When another GET for the same PHP file arrives, I read the cookie and if
the two sigantures are the same, what I want to do is :

- nothing that is the browser should not redisplay the same page

To do this, I put inside the PHP file

- a header call : header("Refresh: 5 ; $SELF");
- then an HTTP header 204 to tell the bowser to do nothing :
header("Status: 204 No content");

Everything works fine at the beginning ! I see with Live HTTP headers
that I receive the two headers and I wait for the refresh after 5
seconds but it never happens !!!!!!

Can you tell me what is wrong ?

Thanks by advance

There's no Refresh header in HTTP.
