I want to make a quiz application using php and mysql and I want that a certain page is refreshed after 1 hour (for example). Can I make it so that when it is refreshed the data in the form is automatically submitted?

Bytheway, I am using:
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="3600">";
for refreshing the page. Do you know how to do it? Thank you in advance!

you can use javascript to refresh a page
<script language="javascript">
setTimeout("location.reload(true)",5000);
</script>
this will refresh the page every 5 seconds

Oh..I forgot to mention,I can't use JavaScript becouse this quiz will also be accessed from mobile devices, and I red in the standards that mobile browsers don't support client side scripting.. Is there a "PHP way" to automatically submit data from a form when it is refreshed? (I sure hope so..) Thank u!

Unfortunately I cannot say if there is any other method (I am pretty sure there is no other) besides JavaScript and Meta refresh. The refresh should be client side and not server side because only client is able to send a request to the server e.g. request a page refresg.
