Is there really no way to programmatically click a link using PHP?
<p>I have been trying for a while now trying to figure out how to programmatically click a link using PHP and/or javascript. I have it setup so if the user clicks a link it will refresh a table. You don't really need to know why I want to do this b/c then it will go down a whole long road of confusion. Just know that there is a link to be clicked and I really really want to programmatically click that link using PHP and/or javascript. </p>

<p>Is there really no way to do this?</p>

<p>Edit: The code where I need to put the auto-click is in PHP, which would have to create and trigger some javascript or jquery or whatever.</p>

<p>Edit 2: Ok, now that you're all confused ... the real problem is that I have a Drupal form that has a property set to use AJAX when submitting. So the submission is done using the jquery plugin that is a module for Drupal. The AJAX setting is just an attribute setting and I do not have access to the underlying code that goes along with the submission of the form. Which forces me to have to refresh the table after the button is clicked. I really wish I could just attach the refreshing to the button click event for the submit of the form. But since I don't have access to that code I don't believe it's possible.</p>
