在同一网站上的其他php文件中修改后自动刷新php页面

Question

I am having an index page which is showing the list of documents/rows available in a database. I am having another php page which deletes the selected document/row from database. Now my problem is after clicking on a link that I am providing with the document/row name opens details on another tab/window; so after deleting the document/row from the details view, it doesn't automatically update the 'doc/row list' page. Is there any other option so that i can auto-update the document list after the deletion of a document/row?

Thanks in advance..

I assume you will want to close your newly opened window after the successful deletion. If that's the case then you can add following block to the success case of your row deletion page. It will refresh the parent page after your records are deleted.

die('<script>window.opener.location.reload();
        window.close();
        </script>');
