Re: How to post from a php script

Thanks for your reply, but I can see a couple of potential problems with this ;- 1) This relies on the user having javascript enabled in their browser settings. 2) The page has to be fully loaded in the client browser before the redirect takes place, this means it will perform more slowly than a server side redirect. Is this the only solution or are there other work-arounds ?
