Re: Transmit data and kill the page!

What I'd meant was something like location.replace('new page') kind of thing available in Javascript to be done on PHP side! The function overwrites the last entry in the history and then you cannot use <<back>> but the trouble is I won't be able to send or transmit data to the other page! :-) hope it's not so bothering and confusing! ----- Original Message ----- From: Andreas Pour To: Ramender Kishore ; PHP General Sent: Friday, September 08, 2000 6:21 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Transmit data and kill the page!

Hi, What do you mean cannot be reverted back to? If the browser caches the page you can't prevent the viewer viewing it again (you can send no-cache headers but they don't have to be obeyed). If you are worried about double-posts, what I do is include a hidden "key" on post pages, and keep the same key in the session data. When a post is made that matches the key, a new key is randomly generated (which is then used on further form pages and stored with the session data); if a post is made with a non-matching key then I treat it as a re-post and handle it appropriately.
