Refresh page automatically after submitting form

After I submit my data from form I don't see it immediate on my screen, I have to refresh it via browser refresh button. 

<form action="" method="post">  

<input type="submit" name="submit"  >

I was using the setTimeout function but it gave me lot of issues in submitting to the database and retrieving from it. I could not debug it properly, and so I removed this function. Without setTimeout, I am able to store in the database and retrieve via the refresh button. But how do I make it immediately auto refresh?

For refresh page use this code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV ='Refresh' Content ='0; URL =/'>

You can use like this end of your code:

<?php echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV ='Refresh' Content ='0; URL =/'>"; ?>

Set your action as: <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>

and it will do the trick.

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">

Action is the directive that trigger what to do with the data. If you don't specify it how is the browser supposed to do anithing?
