The actual content that's sent to the client is determined by myscript.php. or 1.b) all your pages are using the same module (perhaps by including the same code) to determine it this is the right place for the page to show, or to switch to another one. 2) You have some means of tracking your pages' state, most probably using sessions. 3) You're site is transmitting the appropriate headers so clients don't cache pages. You can then make a note within the session data space which page to produce next. If the client wants to retrieve a wrong page (by using the back button, for example), your script would detect this and nonetheless serve the page you want to be shown. -- >O Ernest E.
