How do you delete the last URL in the browser history?

[simplyroberto]

Does anybody know if there is a way of preventing the browser from adding the current page to its history?
I explain: I have a page that keeps loading itself every time the user make changes to it (like deleting a record displayed on the page). Now the user could potentially make several changes and the same page would be loaded several times. If at this stage the user click the browser back button they would see the same page again and again. Is there a way to stop the browser from saving this page to its history either in PHP or Java?
Many thanks,
Roberto

Not in PHP. PHP runs on the server only.

You might look for a solution in a JavaScript forum.

Actually, a redirect should eliminate the page from the browser history, since that page will never be sent to the client computer. Otherwise, Javascript

location.replace('new url');

works from the client-side.
