Issues with header while redirecting it to the current page

Question

I have wriiten as

<?php
  if (isset($_POST['delete'])):
    $size = count($_POST['checkbox']);
    for ($i=0; $i<=$size-1; $i++) {
    $id = $_POST['checkbox'][$i];
    $wpdb->query("DELETE FROM wp_submitted_form WHERE id =".$id);
    }
   header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
  endif; 
?>

When submit button is clicked it throws error message as:

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/wizcorea/public_html/wp-admin/includes/template.php:1657) in /home/wizcorea/public_html/wp-content/plugins/submitted-form/view.php on line 54

I want that page should get refreshed after submit button is clicked

if you had just spent 1 minute searching for "headers already sent php" you would have found thousands of results, with very good answers to that. see here: http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=headers+already+sent+php — x4rf41, Aug 07 '13 at 10:00

Use the ob_flush function of PHP. add this function at the top of the code.

<?php

ob_flush();

And this will work.

EDITED:

INstead of this code:

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

Use this code:

echo '<script>location.href="http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'"</script>';

@Nida I have updated the answer check that. – Code Lღver Aug 07 '13 at 11:05
It works now but the page gets refreshed twice when submit is clicked – Nida Aug 07 '13 at 11:54
@Nida obviously it will. why you want to add this let me know. – Code Lღver Aug 07 '13 at 11:56
this should not happen... please provide me some other ways – Nida Aug 07 '13 at 11:57
Actually I want that page should get refreshed after deleting items – Nida Aug 07 '13 at 12:01
@Nida when you will submit the form page will refresh automatically. you don't need to include this line remove this line and then try. – Code Lღver Aug 07 '13 at 12:05
When i remove this line... It doesnot get refreshed... When i refresh the browser then changes appears... that is why i need some code which will refresh the page – Nida Aug 07 '13 at 12:12
@Nida that's your coding issue. perhaps you have added the fetch query above this deleting code. so move your this deletion code above of the fetch qeury. – Code Lღver Aug 07 '13 at 12:15
Yes you are absolutely right thanks a lot... – Nida Aug 07 '13 at 12:26
