How can a beginner ensure that the page reloads after a script is executed in the background in PHP?

To ensure that the page reloads after a script is executed in the background in PHP, you can use the header() function to redirect the user to the same page after the script has finished running. This will trigger a page reload and display any updated content or changes made by the script.

// Your PHP script code here

// After the script has finished executing, use header() to reload the page
header("Location: {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}");
exit();
