What best practices should be followed when implementing page reloading in PHP to avoid continuous reloading?

To avoid continuous reloading when implementing page reloading in PHP, it is important to use a conditional check to ensure that the reloading only occurs when necessary. This can be achieved by setting a flag or session variable after the first reload and checking this variable before reloading the page again. 

<?php
session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['reloaded'])) {
    // Perform actions that require reloading the page here
    
    $_SESSION['reloaded'] = true;
    header("Location: ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
    exit;
}
?>
