Refresh WebPage periodically

My requirement is that i have a .php page that has to display some graphs/data based on data from a database. I would like refresh the page automatically and periodically so that graphs/data can be updated, as the data is obtained only on loading of the page. How can i do this ?

Maybe you can try the setTimeout javascript method

setTimeout("location.reload(true);",timeoutPeriod);

this would refresh the page on every timeoutPeriod interval.

You can use javascript.

JS function 

function timedRefresh(timeoutPeriod) {
    setTimeout("location.reload(true);",timeoutPeriod);
}

Add below line on body tag.

 <body onload="JavaScript:timedRefresh(5000);"> // time : 5000= 5 secs
