php - Server Side Reload Initiation on Ajax Call

Question

I need to initiate a reload from the server side(PHP) durring and AJAX call. How do I do this. I honestly don't think it is supported.

My current method is to use the PHP header() function and capture it as responseText from the AJAX call and then do an innerHTML add.

However it is not a proper reload in my book as it doen not intiate the onload function. It also seems to to be contrived and not a "clean" solution.

Send a command/flag back to your Ajax handler to make it call the following JavaScript method in the page:

window.location.reload();
