Re: Re: sessions and browser back

there is a setting you need to make after the session start http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-expire.php check that link out I think that it will resolve alot of problems for you.. however I have noticed forms are a little trickier... usually what I do with those is create the back link as a hyperlink which allows me to add the info to the form when returned so it looks like the form hasnt lost its information. ----- Original Message ----- From: "chris" <spam@bittersweet2.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 11:22 AM Subject: [PHP] Re: sessions and browser back > On Wed, 25 Jun 2003 18:56:13 +0530, Bibhas Kumar Samanta > <bks@cal.interrasystems.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I am trying to create restricted pages for my php/mysql/apache > > server with sessions and passing session varibales to other pages for > > validation. > > > > Eventually I am doinng session_start() at the begining and > > checking whether logged in user is authorised to use this page > > by a routine. > > > > Now problem is, if filled in data in the form is incorrect, the forms > > gives an error.
