A section of my HUGE code is:
$query = "UPDATE grocery SET shop='$shop', category='$category', item='$item', quantity='$qnty', unit='$unit', price_based_on='$price_based_on', mrp='$mrp', sellers_price='$sellers_price', last_updated_on='$last_updated_on' WHERE id=$id";
if(!empty($shop)&&!empty($category)&&!empty($item)&&is_numeric($qnty)&&!empty($unit)&&is_numeric($mrp)&&is_numeric($sellers_price)&&!empty($last_updated_on))
{
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die(mysqli_error($dbc));
}
header("Refresh: 5; url=index.php");
echo "<script>alert('This works');</script>";
While the message this works
is displayed, the page doesn't get reloaded. Why is this? If the message "this works" is displayed, this means the header line must also be executed, right? So why doesn't the page appear to reload after 5 seconds? I've even ensured using jQuery that I'm notified everytime the page is refreshed.
$(window).on('load', function(){
alert("Reloaded!");
});
NOTE: for the sake of entirity, my entire code is:
