I'm wanting to seperate form from content and processing... So page a.php has a form, that invokes b.php in it's action. b.php redirects the browser to a new page to show that processing is occuring, then redirects back to a.php when done. ( a.php is a query and display front end, so you enter a query, and it should reload displaying the results ). No matter what I use, whether http headers, or session vars to tell it to reload, when a.php is reloaded by the browser, it's somehow pulling it from cache, and not requesting the page again. If I tell the browser to refresh, then it displays the data. I've tried cache control headers, etc, to get the browser to reload the page, and it doesn't work... -Daniel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
