Autoupdate of page

IS there a standard way of "auto-updateing" the contents of a page after a databas insert or edit? Do a SELECT updates the contents I can update tables I've noticed. Contents in select boxes (as in while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($secquery_res)) { print "<option>$row[0]</option>"; } ) is not automatically updated to match edits or inserts done on the same page. You have to initialize the select box again. Or is there another way? M.
