Stay on Same Page or Redirect Old Page after Delete Action

Question

I have PHP page called index.php where I am displaying some data in table. I have action button called Delete from where user can delete record from table like below

<td><center><a href="delete.php?id=<?php echo $apl_installations_row['installation_id'];?>">
                                        <i class="fas fa-times"style="color:red"></i>
                                    </a></center></td>

My delete.php is like below

<?php 
session_start();
include_once "../sessioncheck.php";
include_once "config.php";
$user_id = $_SESSION['id'];
$id = (int)$_GET['id'];

$update = $con->prepare("DELETE FROM apl_installations WHERE installation_id = ? AND client_id = ?");
$update->bind_param('ii', $id, $user_id);
$update->execute();
$update->close();
?>

Its opening new page called delete.php and stay on same page after record get delete. I want keep user on same page called index.php or want back on index.php after delete record. Let me know if someone can help me for do it. Sorry I am learning PHP and have not good knowledge of it. Thanks

    ?>

You just redirect again index.php page

You can redirect user to index.php at the end of delete.php by either using

header("Location: http://localhost:8080/test/index.php");

OR using JS as below

<script>window.location.href = "http://localhost:8080/test/index.php";</script>

Note: Replace http://localhost:8080/test/index.php with your URL.

Also a better option would be to use jQuery AJAX
