How do I use the header redirect to make it redirect to the current page?
EDIT: I am trying to make it reload the currently shown page in the browser.

I think you need to give us a better understanding of the question. But from what I can tell, you are looking for this:
header("Location: ".$url);
exit(1); // Needed!

You can use the following at the very beginning of mypage.php:
header('Location: /mypage.php');
Some info from the manual.

header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

I'd be a little wary -- might it be possible for an attacker to craft a value of the `Host` header, or a URI that might do something a little unexpected when shoved directly into a `Location` header? Might be a good idea to at least `filter_var()`...

@Frank good thinking, but according to the feedback to my question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2209894/sanitation-for-url-used-in-header-location seemingly not an issue.

@Frank Farmer: i can't imagine any really evil data here.

A:
$url = 'mypage.php';
header('Location: ' . $url);
die('<a href="' . $url . '">Click Here</a> if you are not redirected.');
Redirects to mypage.php. If that fails, the user is given a message and link to the redirected page.

PHP by itself can't force a page refresh. You'll need to use javascript:
<input type="button" onclick="window.location.reload(true)" value="Reload It" />
The .reload(true) bit instructs the browser to do a hard refresh (i.e., fetch a new copy of the web page from the server).

you can of course do this without needing the browser by adding it to the (e.g.) onLoad event of an element

A:
You can also do this in HTML with no PHP at all... Simple, but not always suited to your needs (Meta will work EVERY time the page loads)
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.htm" />
Where:
- content = seconds to redirect
- url = the page you want to redirect to.

A:
If you are rewriting your url you can use $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'] to get the current page.
