I have the same issue as in this question. (which has no correct answer, I just test all of them):

Reload page after submit in iframe (javascript/jquery)

What I need is very well explained there.

I have a button in a form, all this inside an iframe (same domain) and I need to reload the parent page, just after the iframe has made the whole submit process, I do not want to "cut" it or interrupt it.

UPDATE:
I kept searching and I found this. But I can't understand the code in the correct answer, is that for asp? I'm on PHP.

Once the form has been submitted in the iframe

<form method=POST action=getForm.php>

The page reloads into getForm.php, and in that file you do:

<?php



    $input = $_POST['input'];

    // process form and do your stuff etc



    echo <!DOCTYPE html>;

    echo <head>;

    echo <title>Form submitted</title>;

    echo <script type='text/javascript'>window.parent.location.reload()</script>;

    echo </head>;

    echo <body></body></html>;



?>

and that would reload the parent page after the form has submitted, now the only question is, why are you submitting through an iFrame if you're going to reload the parent page anyway.
