RE: [PHP] session lost when back button hit?

By any chance, is page one the "entrance" page to your application? I.e. is there a session id in either the query string of the page URL or was there one passed to it via a POST? Without cookies enabled, there is no way to allow users to use the back button to go back to the entrance page while maintaining the session. One (hackish) solution to this is to cause the entrance page to immediately redirect to itself using either PHP's header function, or a meta refresh. Your goal here is to make it so that hitting back from a secondary page would take you to the post-refreshed entrance page which has the session ID. Good luck. > -----Original Message----- > From: > php-general-return-112965-adhir=govshops.com@lists.php.net > [mailto:php-general-return-112965-adhir=govshops.com@lists.php > .net] On Behalf Of Jean-Christian Imbeault > Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 10:43 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] session lost when back button hit? > > > I have two pages, page one links to page two via a form button.
