Thanks guys and gals got it working
//create a function function get_stock_data($symbol){ //set up the url to be called $revenue_url = "http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=".$symbol;
//curl call: // create a new cURL resource $ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $revenue_url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // grab URL and pass it to the browser $result = curl_exec($ch);

        //call our get_data function
        $data = get_stock_data($_REQUEST['symbol']);
      }

      $ppe                  = $data['ppe'];
      $revenue              = $data['revenue'];

Add following code in your update button(page) script at last

 <script type="text/javascript">
       var php_var = "<?php echo $symbol; ?>";
       locationInfo="stock_next.php?symbol="+php_var;
setTimeout(function(){
    location =locationInfo
  },2000)
    </script>

Your page will be automatically updated after some seconds
