Need to reload page after file download

Need to reload page after file download

I have a download center that is working great. However, I am limiting users to 3 downloads per purchase and I am displaying the remaining download count on the page. Afer the user clicks the download button, the UE download function is triggered and works fine. But I want to be able to reload the page at that point so that the new download count is reflected. How can I do this?

I have tried a number of things without success including action="webpage.php" or PHP_SELF. I have also tried a suggestion that I found in this forum of adding an onclick java script to delay the reload of the page. As soon as I add an onclick behavior, the download file does not get triggered anymore.

One thing you could try is to forward to a dummy page which then forwards back to the download page.

Sorry for being a newbie, but can you explain how you would forward to a dummy page? Maybe provide some quick sample code?

If you put the action of the form as the dummy page, you would be able to forward to that page. In the dummy page, you can put this at the top of the page:
<?php header("Location: <your page>"); ?>

Make sure to replace <your page> with your page.
