I think a little bit more info would help.

Does the apache access log confirm that there are repeated GET requests 
for the page?

Is the page actually refreshing, or does it never seem to have finished 
loading, without the window actually being re-drawn over and over again? 
Infinite loops are a common prob in scripts.

Have you eliminated the possibility of errors in your PHP script by 
trying a very trivial script indeed, or one that you know works?


PWR.
