How to get a PHP script to restart/rerun itself via PHP command

Question

Say I start a PHP script via command line.

Is there a way that PHP can restart/rerun the script from the top via a command inside the PHP script?

<?php
if($something == 'yes')
{
 // restart/rerun whole PHP script
}
?>

Hi, no not a loop. I would like to force restart/rerun the entire script. — Mr.Boon

@Mr.Boon Put all these inside a function and call the function again. — mighty_dev

As told in comment you can send header. or if you in the middle of page, you can add <script> tag with window.location.reload() there

Hi, this is a PHP only script, no HTML/JS. Only runs via cron in commandline

Then advice of @Mr.Boon. Script with variable needReload = false then all script in function. In case of success do nothing. If you need reload then needReload = true and return. In main script call function again in loop if true. But beware of endless cycle.
